.@FitchRatings’ downgrade of the nation's credit rating from AAA to AA+ is a result of frivolous spending and ballooning national debt for programs like the CARES and "Inflation Reduction" Acts. Florida's AAA rating remains the standard-bearer, serving as the nation's blueprint for fiscal responsibility.

In FL, we have run large budget surpluses and have paid off nearly 25% of the state debt.

National economic decline is a choice.

You have a point on foreign policy. I think that was where he did the best. His domestic policy was mixed at best. Overall spending was not reduced on his watch. Indeed, the deficit skyrocketed, $3 trillion of the covid excess spending was on his watch, he fathered the death jab, he got sweet-talked by Kim Kardashian to let criminals out of jail and did little to quash the violence in the summer of 2020. The federal courthouse in Portland was attacked for weeks on end. People have such short and selective memories. They remember Trump better than he ever was. Perhaps policy was too complex for them. They just wanted entertainment. Regardless, it is all water under the bridge now. He can't win. That is the fact that everyone has to deal with. What is worse is that If they nominated him again, he is likely to drag a lot of other Republicans down with him. We need to deal with the facts as they are, not as we might wish them to be.
