Maybe ask the people of Ukraine who the "moron" is. Under Trump no invasion. Under Obama/Biden two invasions and thousands dead. Record inflation, crime, gas prices, illegal aliens, and no end in sight. But Trump is the dumb one!

Criminal Donald illegally withheld Ukraine's military aid which weakened their country. The people of Ukraine hate Criminal Donald.
Criminal Donald's own National security advisor said Criminal Donald weakend Ukraine and his appeasement of Putin allowed this invasion to occur.
And you add your same propaganda list again.
Biden has nothing to do with gas prices, those are set by the oil industry who is keeping the prices high for profit.
Inflation started under Criminal Donald who ignored the covid pandemic and made it worse. Inflation is happening all over the world.
Criminal Donald had the worst crime and homicide rate in history. So once again your propaganda has been debunked.
US records highest increase in nation's homicide rate in modern historyThe United States has just recorded its highest increase in rates of homicide in modern history
Provisional data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, released early Wednesday, suggest
the homicide rate for the United States rose 30% between 2019 and 2020. It is the highest increase recorded in modern history -- and confirms through public health data a rise in homicides that so far had been identified only through crime statistics.
The previous largest increase in the US homicide rate was a 20% rise recorded from 2000 to 2001 because of the September 11 terror attacks, according to NCHS.
"It is the largest increase in 100 years," Robert Anderson, chief of the mortality statistics branch at NCHS, said.
"The only larger increase since we've been recording these data occurred between 1904 and 1905, and that increase was most likely -- at least partly -- the result of better reporting," Anderson said. "We had states being added to what we refer to as the death registration areas, so we were counting deaths in more areas over time. We didn't have all states reporting until 1933."
The new data show the US homicide rate increased from about six homicides per 100,000 people in 2019 to 7.8 per 100,000 in 2020, according to NCHS. Researchers at the center noted that the 2020 homicide rate of 7.8 is the highest recorded in the United States since 1995 but is still significantly lower than the rates in the early 1980s, which topped 10 homicides per 100,000 people.
"So, it's obviously of concern but we're not at the levels that we were at that time," Anderson said. "We're heading in the wrong direction though, for sure."
The FBI's Uniform Crime Report recorded about 21,570 murders total last year -- compared with an estimated 16,425 murders in 2019.
The NCHS researchers plan to conduct follow-up analyses on the new homicide data for more insight into state-level data and how the homicides occurred. For instance, the provisional data do not document the various mechanisms of homicide, but the researchers noted that provisional data on gun-related deaths also increased last year, climbing from a rate of 11.9 firearm deaths per 100,000 in 2019 to 13.6 per 100,000 in 2020 -- a 14% increase.
When it comes to state-by-state differences in the data, Anderson said only three states appeared to have experienced decreases in homicides last year: Maine, New Mexico and Alaska.
"Those are really the only states where we saw declines," Anderson said.
Overall, the provisional homicide data are consistent with separate findings by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Last month, the FBI released its annual Uniform Crime Report for 2020, showing that the number of
homicides increased nearly 30% from 2019, the largest single-year increase the agency has recorded since it began tracking these crimes in the 1960s."The climbing US homicide rate is a concerning threat to the nation's public health -- but not surprising", said Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.
He said the rise in homicides has occurred parallel to a recent rise in overall violence, hate, tensions, political divisions and anger displayed in communities across the country.
"We're literally seeing it in front of our eyes -- at school board meetings and public events," Benjamin said.
