My response to someone saying Trump is doing awesome on a FB thread

Which of these would you describe as "Doing well"? His averaging fewer jobs per month than either of Obama's terms, less economic growth than Obama, our trade deficit hitting record highs with his ill conceived trade war which is devastating farmers and has him below water in states like Iowa and barely hanging on in deep red farm states like Nebraska. The deficit which was coming down under Obama is now skyrocketing because of his ill conceived tax cuts to the very wealthy, his absolute failure with North Korea, a list of scandals a mile long including the Trump Foundation ordered to shut down because of charity fraud. Stealing from children's cancer charity??? Wow! This is a guy who inherited hundreds of millions from his father. He lost over a billion of that inherited money in a ten year period putting him at the top of the list as the BIGGEST LOSER in the entire country for that ten years and American banks still won't loan to him. The list of failed businesses is a mile long. He also would be worth A LOT more if he had taken all that inheritance money and invested it in index funds and left it alone. So he is pathetic with money and as Reagan's budget director has said over and over "He's an economic ignoramus!" I almost forgot that most economists are now predicting a recession by next year helped on by his failed trade war. He is a charlatan who had he not inherited so much from his Dad would be nothing more than Archie Bunker selling Amway.

Note: I like to use Reagan's budget director when arguing with Republicans. They don't know how to deal with that.

I'll swing way, way to the right of where I think they are at and just lay a whole bunch of racist, bigoted, selfish, repug bullshit on them and watch as their face turns, because they found someone more whacked than Rush or Coulter. I have to take a shower afterwards, but the fun is worth it.
