The president has a veto. That's pretty unilateral. He not only didn't


use it, he asked congress to triple the size of the checks. Thankfully they didn't.

And our "wrecked" economy contracted by 2.7% in 2020. That's roughly the same as the economic contraction in Sweden who was touted for their measured response and lack of shutdowns. From 2019 to 2023, despite a global disruption in 2020, our economic growth is 2% per year on average (in line with pre pandemic economic growth), so your "we wrecked the economy" is bullshit. Much of the covid spending wasn't needed and it certainly wasn't needed at the end of 2020 when Trump wanted to TRIPLE the size of the checks.

But his drunk and disorderly spending that is the least of the reasons why he's unfit for office. He's a raving lunatic who lies non stop about stolen elections despite zero evidence, he suggests the constitution should be terminated, he appoints people into important positions who think we should be more like Myanmar, he haphazardly levies tariffs against friends and foes alike, and he publicly sides with Putin over his own intelligence agency in an embarrassing show of fealty to a foreign adversary. If he was at least fiscally conservative, I still couldn't overlook those things, but at least you could hang on to the fact that he's fiscally conservative. But we increased spending on is watch by more than any democrat could have dreamed of doing.
