“Progressives have long pined for another FDR. Here in the first couple of months of 2025, they’ve gotten one.” —Rich Lowry, National Review
We know, it’s alarming that Trump is talking about running for a third term. But FDR did it, and he ended the Great Depression. Well, it ended on his watch. I guess what I’m saying is if FDR did it, it can’t be that bad.
Sure, he’s intentionally driving us into a recession. However, there was a recession in Reagan’s first term, too, and he went on to oversee one of the greatest economies in US history. Sort of. At least according to the New York Times op-ed section. If Reagan did it, it can’t be that bad.
Okay, the serial abuse of women is a problem. But ever heard of a guy named Bill Clinton? Bill Clinton, who left office with the highest approval rating in modern history?? If Clinton did it, it can’t be that bad.
