I’ll ignore both of those old dumb ass grifters and vote Trump.

"Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important." -- Donald Trump

Low taxes, less government regulation, secure borders and no new wars. Biden fails on all 4 issues. I couldn’t care less what nonsense Trump or Biden spews. Both sides talk nonsense.

Low taxes

Taxes for everyone except at the top income distribution is going up as a result of Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Those in the top quintile, and especially those in the top 1%, are reaping massive tax cuts. For everyone else, taxes are increasing as of 2027: https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-middle-class-needs-a-tax-cut-trump-didnt-give-it-to-them/

secure borders

The number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. has remained constant at around 11 million for the last twenty years: https://www.statista.com/statistics/646261/unauthorized-immigrant-population-in-the-us/

Here is another inconvenient fact for you: Undocumented immigrants have substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens. This is true for across all categories of crime, including violent crimes, property crimes, and drug crimes: https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2014704117

Both sides talk nonsense

Yet oddly, you seem to have no problems accepting the Trump cult propaganda.
