Now what about some of the other things that affect quality of life.  Are store owners dealing with rampant shoplifting better off?  How about the restaurant committed to a ten-year lease with a new homeless encampment next door?  How's the Democratic border policy and "Defund the police" movement working out for them?

If you want to ask me whether the country was better off under Trump than under Biden, I would say no.  I think Trump's allegation that the 2020 election was stolen, and his leading millions of people into that belief, did enormous damage to the country.
