The rest were tryme and President Trump's time doesn't count as it hasn't finished and he mighht somehow get a tax rate of 90% on the most rich, transition to an ecologically sustainable economy, reform capitalism so those out of work longest are hired first (with tax incentives), patent exclusivity is reduced to three years with just 10% royalties to inventors after that, etc. Really, the Democrat party is intellectually dead. President Trump may need to sell them some ideas if no collusion was going on amongst those seeking his removal from office.
