Thank you for replying, Antthony.

Let's start with your wanting the U.S. to go back to being what it was. What it was when, exactly? And when it was good, what, exactly, was good about it?

You asked what I think about who is better at making laws without fear of what others may think. The answer to your questions will be a bit lengthy:

Biden has a record of signing bills into law that are statistically what the majority of the people want, including but not limited to: 1) repairing bridges and roads, 2) building new manufacturing plants to bring home the jobs that have gone to China and other countries in recent years, and 3) reducing the cost of insulin from $400-$700 a month down to $35 a month along with lowering prices for a number of common medicines (prices will be lowered in 2016 and 2017). He was also trying to get new immigration law passed that would, among other things, streamline the process of getting illegal immigrants out of the country. However, Trump directed Republicans in the House to keep that bill from reaching his desk. Many people are saying that Trump doesn't want to solve immigration probblems because he would rather blame Biden for them than solve them.

Trump's record is different. He 1) lowered taxes significantly and permanently for billionaires and lowered them for the middle class just a little and temporarily, 2) tripled the national debt (so our taxes are only sufficient to pay the interest on that debt instead of paying off the debt itself), 3) separated children from their mothers at the border and put the children in cages, 4) never got the wall built, and 5) recommended that people drink bleach to cure themselves of COVID (people believed him, tried it, and died).

So which man would make laws without worrying about what people think? That would be Trump. To judge from his record, he not only doesn't worry about what people think; he doesn't even care. Just this week, he said at a rally exactly what the cartoon image of him in this article indicates he said, "I don''t care about you. I just want your vote."

All of this can be substantiated, and if you're interested I'll be happy to do that.
