Wouldn't surprise me, but Trump overplayed his hand. There's a legit case to be made that Hunter's dealings overseas are questionable as fuck. It's incredibly unclear how he managed to get highly paid positions despite not having much discernible to offer.

There's a huge gap between "son was given a job" and "Dad was knowingly complicit, provided access, and oh by the way this somehow involves a ton of pedophiles". It's incredibly common for people to get hired with the vague hope of accessing power. If you had a shred of clear evidence that Biden engaged in a quid pro quo, that'd be remarkably different...but it's nothing but a giant ball of conspiracy.

Do you want endless wars in other countries?

No, and I'm both surprised and pleased. Don't confuse the fact that I hate this asshole with the blanket assertion that literally everything he did was evil...that's your game, shared with the shrill Vox/New Yorker crowd. Most of his national security policy was solid. Efforts out of his administration (vaccine prep, etc) have been tremendously successful and all the left would like to talk about was his idiotic focus on calling wearing a mask some sort of cuckolding of an ambiguous "freedom".

Wealth and opportunity is the single best way to ensure people from any and all walks of life can use their skills to achieve that.

Agreed. The tax cuts were pretty shameless corporate bootlicking. I'd rather see cuts for working Americans and the 2018 cuts were not that. Let's not pretend that Trump somehow had his hands on the levers of power magically moving the economy forward. Presidents get lauded for good economies but have very little to do with it.

In my opinion Trump isn't polarizing. The media is polarizing.

Please. It's been incredibly overt that the guy is more than willing to stoke discord where none existed, for the sake of doing so. He has given much more than a wink and a nod to white supremacists, and you know that. I'd suggest consuming a higher-quality media diet if you think media is intrinsically polarizing. CNN and Fox News are equally bullshit and largely worthless. OANN and Vox are both hyperpartisan shills. There are ideologically driven publications with a good deal of dedication to honesty. Want good leftist takes on the news? Read the NYT/Atlantic, knowing they're going to tend left. Right? Weekly Standard and Reason are marvelous. You're not going to get anything other than churned into a froth listening to the drivel of Infowars or Thinkprogress.

What did Trump do that made you want him gone

He refused to govern or deal in truth. He has absolutely no politics outside of grievance and opportunism. The (indeed, good) things you cite? He was always happy to see which way the wind was blowing and capitulate immediately. I can't recall a president in memory who did less to drive actual policy. He didn't even deliver on a damn thing for the people who supported him past a lot of "right place, right time" initiatives delivered by having competent conservatives in power. It's honestly shocking to me that even though I don't support it, people who wanted a wall built are stroking each other off over a few miles of fence.

His administration was legendarily corrupt and craven. Every single arrest, accountability measure was met with pardons and excuses. And the true believers are more than happy to drift off into paranoiac fantasies where that was all just created by a "deep state" that hasn't bothered exacting the same justice against a number of other past polarizing presidents.
