I don't really have anything nice to say about Trump. When American voters take to the polls to decide our president for the next term, the entire direction of the country, and the world, is riding on that choice. This includes every federal agency, every federal court nominee, every law that gets passed, every shipment of arms sent to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, where ever. Trump has the advantage of not being in office now, so has plenty of time campaigning around the country and criticizing every decision Biden makes. Joe has a job to do. This is why the incumbent president doesn't generally have to fend off primaries. The general election can be hard enough. Biden's approval rating has been extremely low since day one. The country doesn't feel more united since he took office. If anything, since Biden won the election, the opposition to his agenda has grown, making his job that much harder. The GOP rarely supports his decisions, but even his own party members disagree with things. Then there's the scandals. Trump has the tactical advantage here now, too. Every legal issue Trump faces he can label as a witch hunt, whereas Biden has to (at least seem to) adhere to a higher standard, since he actually has the job. The poll numbers now don't really matter, but Trump will have the advantage of time he can devote to campaigning and rallying, with tons of free press, even if a lot of it is bad. Biden could perform an actual miracle and get as many naysayers as the moon landing. Unless he does that water into wine thing. People might believe that.
