This is not actually a policy. The "best economy we have ever had" is propaganda btw. In absolute terms, yes, because our economy hasn't literally shrunk over the last 3 years, it is bigger than it's ever been, which was
also true for all previous presidents since Hoover. And if we look at Trump's full first term, economic growth will likely end up lower under Trump than any president since Hoover. So, congratulations? In terms of how good the economy actually is, I'll definitely take the faster growing economy of the Clinton years and before. During the
three years previous to the Trump presidency, annual GDP growth average 2.3% and over the first three years of Trump's presidency, 2.5%. Meanwhile, under Clinton's administration, GDP growth averaged 3.9%.

On the China virus, Biden wants to use the deaths of 200,000 people as pawns instead of placing the blame square on China, who is the original problem in the first place for lying to us about the virus from the beginning.
This is a deflection. Reasonable people don't blame Trump for the coronavirus existing. Instead, they blame him for doing a bad job of fighting it. This is why initially Trump got a boost from the virus, and it was only during the summer when it became clear how many Americans were dying relative to other countries that Trump's approval went down.

On race issues, trump has dropped African American unemployment to the lowest level in recorded history. He has funded historically black colleges and universities and created numerous opportunities for minority growth across the board. That’s why there is a #walkaway movement of minorities from the Democrat Party. They have seen who is really for them and who is not.
Yes, before we entered a severe recession and thousands of black people died from a pandemic, we had very low unemployment and rising wages since 2013. This was good for black people as well.

Biden wanted to make the claim that has been proven (even by the original article writer and editor) that trump called the military suckers and losers, when a clip surfaced from just four years ago, while Vice Commander in Chief, of Biden calling the military “stupid bastards” in a speech.
Huh? This makes no sense.

Again on China virus, Biden stated that he would make sure we had all the equipment and PPE to get us through this. Yet it was under his and Obama’s watch that the stores were depleted and never replaced. Trump inherited a mess from the Obama administration in regards to healthcare all the way around.
Little known fact that Obama was actually President for the last three years and Trump is just a talk show host criticizing the government for their poor performance. Also, the GOP is just full of BS on heathcare. They just lie over and over about the ACA, promise they'll replace it, and 8 years later they've still failed to even propose a legislatively viable alternative.

Lastly, climate change. This is a goodie. Biden stated that we are killing people and causing the fires in CA. Grump stated that we need better forest management to keep this from happening. The truth is, the dead and dried out kindling in CA are trees that the state has declared as protected environmentally and are prohibited from removing. The problem on the west coast is due to nothing but poor policies. We also have the lowest emissions of any country in the world. Who had the largest? China. Who, in the Paris accords, had to make immediate changes to their energy? USA. Who didn’t and had 15 years? Yep. China.
What does this have to do with Trump's lack of a coherent policy on climate change? His approach is to just pretend it doesn't exist and torpedo any chance for international cooperation to defeat it.
