The same amount that the past few Presidents have done. Very little to nothing.
Valid.
But apparently he believes taking a firm stance would be unpopular.
We will see.
Exactly. So more politics as usual...
And a Biden win leads to where ?
Yeah, I'm not one who thinks a Biden win is even feasible given what has been going down lately.

You are 100% correct.
But I'm not sure any other course of action he could have taken would be better.
The only thing he might have done would be to do a better job turning the leftists derangement against themselves.
If he had initially come out in favor of shutdowns and mask mandates the left would have vehemently opposed both as a knee jerk reaction.
Then he could have just "changed his mind" and never implemented either. The left then wouldn't be able to push for them and we might not have an economy on the verge of a meltdown.
But, such a strategy isn’t an obvious course of action, nor a guaranteed success, so I can't fault him for not taking it.
Covid 19 is a fiction designed by the Left to affect an election. Millions of businesses are being adversely affected by such fiction. And so everyone is clear yeah I know people are dying just like the flu. This is the world's greatest power grab make no mistake about it. God help us.

Eh, hard to tell. I do think he galvanized the racial elements to get back into politics, the perfect example being BLM. But I think despite my objections as a free trader, his moves against the CCP in trade relations was having an impact. “No new wars” isn’t quite good enough, but a lot better than the previous neoliberal regime which lit up everything from Kosovo to the dumbass war on terror. I think it’s meaningful that he actually tried to extend an olive branch to N Korea.
Rona threw a lot of wrenches into the works. He was about to turn a corner in my mind, and that was halted for reasons as out of his control as a lot of this has been for you and I. Ideal? Hardly. But not a demon.
He certainly hasn’t materially harmed or helped me.

Might want to read the papers and decisions of his Justices. You are very wrong here.
Not hearing cases now is a deliberate and calculated move.
Well I give a shit about MAGA that's one.

His justices are far more pro 2A than anything Obama, Biden, or Hillary would have appointed That’s for sure.
They can always use twisted logic to argue why it's not the right time. Idiots and newbs buy into it, smart and experience see what's going on.
They are political. Butt hurt gun owners means more votes and support for the Republicans who appointed them. One hand washes the other.
Im still on the fence about the 2 justices he added. They really havent had a chance to prove themselves.
What I dont like is that during his 2016 campaign he raved about his super huge love and support of the 2nd amendment. He literally said, " the war on your second amendment rights will be over."
This of course is just a load of pandering crap but I thought at least he would give SOME support to the 2A.
And he said he was going to create a commity within his administration to combat the attack on the 2A, lead by Don Jr........now where is this commity?
He also wavered on the Red Flag and bump stock things.
During speeches he still touts his massively huge support of the 2A but I dont see much action.
Would he veto an anti gun law on his desk??? I honestly dont know.

I'll take "I don't know" over the alternative that would be actively pushing for more.
Honestly it would depend on the bill, and the political mood of the country at the time, but he's still a lot better bet than the other guy.
I attended rifle match a week ago. We had a conversation after the match. Someone made a comment, he wants to take a crap into MAGA hat and send it back. Although this was over the top, no one really argued. People understood the sentiment. Just saying.

But were you guys wearing masks?!?

It's outdoors with plenty of space. Common practice in most gun clubs now is to require masks at the indoor facilities and make it optional outdoors.

Wavered?
He *directed* ATF to reinterpret the bump stock.
As far as additional anti-2a legislation I have very little doubt he would sign it if he thought it was in *his* best interests to do so.

Imagine the conversation we would be having now if Hillary won and Trump never had a chance to implement anything. The thread title would have been, "What exactly hasn't Hillary Clinton done to you that reduces your civil rights or standard of living?"
It wouldn't be a very long thread and we would (many of us anyway) have been opining for Trump. Of the choices we had at the time he was the best by far. He has proven it so far although there will always be someone who could bitch about what he hasn't done. Just as there are many Democrats that still haven't excepted his win there are many others too. This ladies and gentleman is actually what gets old. Carry on.

I'm just here to say that President Trump ripped the mask off the left.
There is no mistaking what the left is all about now... Same with the MSM.
Orangeman Bad 2020 ... RBG can't last forever.

Good point. During every other presidency up until now the left kind of laid low in wait tipping their hat here and there in regards to their agenda. It wasn't so blatant and in your face. They were kind of stealth about it. Since Trump, it is on full display and they make no bones about it. He has brought that to the surface for all to see and I believe he was the only one who could/would have done that.

Yep there is no more straddling the fence. Unless someone is a dumbass, there is no more "still undecided" at this point.
Either someone is pro American and supports our system of Government, or one is not and does not.
Commies need to be shot down in the streets... Oh wait ...
I should say, even more commies need to be shot down in the street.

He delinquent in prosecuting corrupt people who have sought to undermine the US. No justice.
We don't know what Hillary would have done. Most likely nothing that she promised to her base or what would hurt her chances for reelection. Why do people continue to believe Democrat politicians are honest, when Republican clearly not.
