@@robwind8061 a declaration? The video states: "despite clear evidence that the 2020 election was the most secure in history.."

Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result" Do you really think that discussing the existence of clear evidence is bias? Now, you may not agree with laws that have been passed, but, if we are speaking about bias, or discussing objective facts, than the votes counted by any laws are, by definition, not fraudulent, so the statement stands.
Hard to believe that 'Universal Healthcare' is one of the things he ran on when he first went for the presidency in 2000. Great video! Very informative. :D

The USA can afford it but chooses not to. A proper universal healthcare system would actually be good for the productivity of the USA because more people would be fit for work never mind the moral issues. By the way it would not be a 'free' healthcare system it would be paid for by sharing the cost across all citizens. Just free at the point of delivery.
I was pretty deep into the comments before noticing yours. I'm now manifesting some peculiar topical boils, ulcers, and lesions. Is there some kind of salve I can apply in my unfortunate circumstance?
It's always struck me how people say that they 'love' Trump. There's been a few politicians I've supported, some strongly supported. I'd actually say that I liked a (very) few. The word love has never entered into my mind, it represents an emotional connection. Emotion forms the basis of support for most Trumpies. Emotion is irrational, unreasoning. I think that gives real insight into the Trump phenomenon.
I do not like Trump as a man or a presidential figure, but it was a clear path forward that Biden has not only stalled but reversed. Without Covid we would _still_ be worse off than the past four years. Unless you sit alone in your basement all day.
@Joseph Murray you just unwittingly called love irrational and unreasoning. So by your logic no one should marry ever, because it would be irrational and unreasoning. This is why you do not associate love with emotions as much as the populous will tell you, that's what love is. Love is an action, it is wanting the very best for someone. It is not simply an emotion which you so adroitly pointed out, is not with reason or rationale.
I appreciate that you just summarized the positives and negatives, regardless of whether people agree or disagree with aspects. The comment section is really funny. The fan club is out in full force.

Going through the entire playlist from start to finish has really given me perspective. While from our perspective the modern times may seem much more turbulent than the past, going through the presidencies, adressing each one with the same, admittadely short format, shows both how the political game has evolved from the days of nobility and imperialism to the days of corporate oligarchies, as well as how similar it remained throughout, with divisions, personal conflicts and temperaments all coming together to influence the political landscape. I apreciate the work you've put into this, and await the next episode 3 years from now.

@@CarbonTech19 They all still participated. Just because you don't actually rape someone, but hold them down while it's happening doesn't make you innocent.
@@CarbonTech19 Legally yes, but if you listen to the testimonies of the Five, they were there at the scene and some of them hurt the victim. What really happened was that a large group of young people went to the park to beat people up and rob, and gangraped the jogger. After this, Reyes (the man who's DNA evidence was found) also raped her and using a rock, nearly killed her. Later, Reyes said he was the only one who did it to avoid prison violence from some of the Five and to boost his ego. To me, this was one of the few things Trump was right about. Also, at the time he released the spread, the jogger was in critical condition, and Trump was for the death penalty of murderers, not rapists (I am not in favor of the death penalty)
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252 , That testimony was later thrown out because it was internally inconsistent _and!_ wasn't consistent with EVIDENCE from the crime scene.

@@ricoaztec1 Exactly, it's not hard to tell right from wrong concerning Trump and his endless lies, you'd think even his most hardcore cultist would be sick and tired of making excuses for the fool.
8:39 - It's not the 'War on Terrorism', but rather the 'War on Terror'. At first this might seem like a nitpick, but it's actually an important distinction. Terrorism is an activity, while terror is an idea - a notion - and a vague one at that.
So if you dare to have the idea that the currently powerful are wrong, that makes you a terrorist. It’s DOJ and DHS policy now. Disagreeing with school board policy qualifies FBI attention! (Seriously?!!) The likelihood this reality ends well is pretty small. Do we blame Trump for that, too? If he hadn’t driven the left and the political establishment nuts, it would not have happened. Or maybe it would have just been more subtle in implementation. Trump definitely ain’t that.
Fwiw, I unplugged from all news media around 2-3 years ago. I also quit voting. It had gotten to the point where I could no longer see any benefit whatsoever - it was just making me depressed and angry. It was one of the kindest, most sensible things I've ever done for myself.
One thing that needs to be pointed out when telling people that Trump graduated from the Wharton Business school is that he received a Bachelor's from the school, not the esteemed MBA that people who typically tell you that they "went to Wharton" are trying to impress you with when they say that.

For the last one, assume it was within his authority; even if he had valid reasons, if his son or the company hsi son worked for was bring investigated (not certain; would need proof) then at the very least that is a conflict of interest; if he knew and did it anyway it may also be corruption but again, there are ifs

It's kind of funny that everyone who comments with the claim that the video is "biased" or "inaccurate" also fails to clarify specifically which talking points they felt were inaccurate, or provide any evidence to backup these claims.

@@jamescooke7243 except nothing has been found. Even that Arizona sham audit by a company named by a child (cyber ninjas lol) with ZERO experience led by republicans found nothing.

Are you not going to mention how 45 placed someone in charge of the post office that began destroying equipment used by USPS to sort through mail before the election? Didn't his AG even say the election was good? How come it's only in places 45 lost, but not where he won? If there was really wide spread voter fraud, wouldn't you also need to check the areas where 45 won? Or is it a fair election ONLY when a republican wins?
@@jamescooke7243 “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result,”. Dave is literally quoting a statement issued by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). These words are from Trump's own administration, not rhetoric from CNN. "The election stopped counting halfway through". This is not true. There is no evidence to suggest it, it was debunked and deemed false. What is true is that votes take a long time to count. Mail in Ballots, which were much greater in number this election due to obvious reasons, are not received all at once and it takes like two weeks for all of them to be received and counted. They can't keep counting votes that they have not yet received. Polling suggested that Democratic voters were much more likely to vote by mail than Republican voters. You say there are UK studies to suggest mail-in ballots can be easily manipulated? Okay, where can I find those studies? I'd like to see them. Mail-in Ballots have been a trusted part of the electoral process for years. It has really only ever been made a concern to people this last election, because Trump decided to push that narrative with no evidence to back it up. There are security measures in place to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of each vote. There is even a ballot tracker tool online so you can confirm for yourself that the correct vote was received and counted So yeah...everything you said is wrong or completely unsubstantiated. And, as expected, you provide no evidence to suggest otherwise. So who is really the one spewing biased rhetoric here?

Eh, tbf I wouldn't even consider many of those things as pros on Trump's part. First Step Act passed unanimously in the Senate it's first go around, a large enough margin in the house where a voice vote was enough, then for amendments with large enough majorities in both that even had Trump not signed it, they had the numbers to say "screw you, veto overridden". Hell, Trump was even initially against it. Scarily enough Kushner had more to do with getting people on board with it than Trump did. And many of Trump's "accomplishments" are along those sorts of lines. Bills that were too popular for him to block and him being made to come around to them, only to then pass to an extent that frankly Congress at the time pretty much deserves far more credit. Hell, I'd only go so far as to say the only credit he deserves is not engaging in his usual loud rabble-raising lying to force more Republicans against it and that's a pretty damn low bar.
@@datboy038 yea i wouldnt say he did a lot of good. Siging that one bill that did jack shit in order to distract from his incomptence on the corona virus pandemic is hardly good.. This is what he really did for criminal justice reform- "Trump’s administration has subsequently ended investigations into local and state police departments accused of misconduct, arguing that cops shouldn’t be shackled by the federal government. It has encouraged federal prosecutors to pursue the harshest possible sentences, including more punitive punishments for lower-level offenses and the death penalty for drug crimes. And it has restarted federal executions." -Vox
One minor criticism, the TTP was universally seen as an apocalyptic trade deal for the working class, you kinda stuck the accidental good thing he did with some of the worst shit in his presidency, it should have been more separated so nobody thinks the TTP was a good thing and that we should bring it back, it literally gives multinational corporations the right to arbitration in their own "courts" over the courts of the countries these decisions would affect, rendering sovereignty on trade issues obsolete
Sorry but this is utter nonsense. This is what happens a massive and technical trade document gets churned through the political meat grinder. It did not introduce new corporate courts that override entire countries, as you and other ill-informed reactionaries claim. It expanded the **existing** Investor-state Dispute Settlement (ISDS) to cover the terms of the TPP. This has a process that has existed for over 60 years and is used for hundreds of other treaties with the same conditions. The US has never once lost a case under treaties like NAFTA with this system. It is widely successful as a means of enforcing international law. Both the investor and the state must come to an agreement under the ISDS, and the state gets to **pick a judge**. The state wins the majority of ISDS claims, and a claim can only be pushed forward if an investor can prove a country breached a trade agreement and caused lost profits. Entirely reasonable. The TPP has been widely praised by virtually every economic institution. It removed global tariffs (which do nothing good for the economy), and introduced labor standards that banned child/forced labor, required minimum compensation, banned workplace discrimination, gave unionization rights, workplace safety rights and allowed trade sanctions for violating labor rights. This is huge because the US GSP program has proven that labor standards can indeed be properly enforced in trade deals. It also includes a huge range of environmental and biodiversity protections. There is a reason almost every advanced economy was rushing to get on board, it was the path forward to distancing the global economy from China and moving to freer global trade with the greatest labor protections in history. Instead Trump bailed, the program became less effective (Though still successful for participating countries) and now China got to negotiate the RCEP and set the terms instead of the US.
@@battleoftheadds It's not an all around amazing thing, no. It'd be good for companies, I'm sure. Probably even for the economy at large. But I can't see how removing tariffs and financial regulations would benefit low income workers. Cheaper goods at the expense of employment conditions is what they have gotten out of the predecessors of TTP. It's obvious why a good part of the public is skeptical about these deals, and why they'd be willing to go as far as voting on someone like Trump to stop them.
@@sangwaraumo "It's obvious why a good part of the public is skeptical about these deals, and why they'd be willing to go as far as voting on someone like Trump to stop them."

The same portion that thinks the earth is flat? The earth is only 6,000 years old? That any government would hide aliens from the general public? Do I dare go on?

@@CodenameNewby You make some good points. Why are people looking for alternative medicine? Some people are just dumb, of too deep into magic thinking. But regular medicine being implicated in huge scams (e.g. Purdue, the EpiPen dudes, etc.) doesn't help. Alternative medicine is no alternative, mind you, but the reason why some dumb people are picking dumb alternatives is because the businessmen in charge of actual medicine have lost so much credibility, by being greedy morons. It's the same with flat earth, creationism, etc. Obviously there will always be a portion of the population that are just that dumb, but some people are drawn into these idiotic beliefs when they see government and companies plotting together to keep their life miserable while they rake in millions.

Of course nothing can be done about climate change if everybody refuses do anything until somebody else makes the first move (which will now be China instead of the US). That's like choosing to live in a filthy room that gathers more and more cockroaches because other people didn't clean their own rooms first. The world doesn't have time for this bullshit The United States could have easily led the world on climate change and was in a great position to do exactly that. Ironically if Trump agreed to the Paris agreement, it would have set a precedent for other nations to follow, including China. It's much easier to pressure China into doing their part when the rest of the world does. Sadly Trump not only pulled out of agreements, but also actively blocked and silenced climate change research so he could continue ignoring the problem. I'm sorry but "china though" is not a good excuse for the enormous dent Trump placed in the progress that science was making
The absolute hilarity of people thinking a man that lives in golden towers to be a man of the people is... Well, it's actually not that funny. It's sad.
Why can't a man in a golden tower take pity on the people, and be in a better position not only to help them, but to see and call out the behavior of the other golden tower people? That's pretty much the idea behind Trump. He is a populist, his platform was aimed at working class folk.

@@robwind8061 I'm not saying it was the most secure election, but I don't think they had super accurate ways of determining security in some of our many other elections through our history. This was also a very different election than most of the previous ones with all the Corona things complicating it. I'm on the left, I'd love to believe it was the most secure, but it seems really difficult to know. Just out of curiosity, which election was the most secure?
@@robwind8061 yeah I was just wondering, you said this was not the most secure election, it kinda implied you new specifically an election that was demonstrably more secure. I'm pretty familiar with the Arizona audit, the few cases they claim to have found involving people voting more than once have not yet been substantiated. Even if they are demonstrated, they wouldn't be enough to be to make the 2020 election statistically anomalous to any other modern American election that I'm aware of. They wouldn't even be enough to refute the claim they made that this was "the most secure election in American history" lol. But of course, they certainly could be true, and there certainly could still be more they didn't find. I appreciate the free and open discourse my friend.
To be fair, while it is proven there was fraud this election, that can be said for any election we have good records for. I think the problem is the REFUSAL to investigate. Let them investigate their hearts out (they did it to Trump and found nothing for russiagate).if nothing is found then we can bring people together and say hey, you lost, deal with it. It isn't just silencing different opinions, it is the one sided nature of the rules and the laws.....they are not being applied equally and unless they do, it is likely going to lead to civil war, hopefully after I'm long dead. Just more example, there us MORE evidence Biden used his influence as vice president to stop an investigation into his son (and evidence has come forward to implicate him) than their was for Trump Russia. We do NOT have enough evidence to say he is guilty, nor enough to say he even had a conflict of interest, but there is more than enough that an investigation should have been done, it was not and media declared that it had and that no proof was found, lie.

trump also promised he wouldn't have time to play golf, because he would be working too hard,. and that trump would eliminate the entire deficit,.. still trump went golfing for 370 days on his own golfresort, taking 144 million taxdollars for his own,. and trump raised the deficit with 8 trillion in only 4 years,..
also, i'd like to mention that there was a alaskan oil rig project in the middle of indegenous territory, which was not agreed on by the people there. (they also had to pay taxes for it) No taxation without representation
Just one correction, not everyone's taxes went down. Due to eliminating personnel exemptions and limiting deductions, there were people who ended up paying more in taxes.
12:52 Hmm... I remember Tucker Carlson being the only one calling for a Chinese flight ban and when Trump implemented it a week later the Dems called him "Xenophobic"...
*Correction* Trump did NOT graduate from Wharton (the prestigious University of Pennsylvania business school)... He merely ATTENDED classes there for one year, then transferred back to a lesser school more appropriate for his limitations
I watched this entire series: from Washington to Trump. It is depressing how far we've fallen as a nation that so many Americans still support after he literally tried to overthrow our government and wants to elininate democracy in favor of a dictatorship.
Would love to see a video where you explain your assertion at 14:25 that there was "clear evidence that the 2020 election was the most secure election in American history". We made a sudden shift to widespread mail-in voting and ballot harvesting due to the pandemic, and continue to see resistance to voter ID. What controls are in place to ensure the ballots received are confirmed to be from a legal voter and are counted properly? Seems like just asking the question is treated as a "threat to democracy" when election integrity is the most important thing to ensure a healthy representative republic.
It wasn't the most secure election, of course. It was the exact opposite. And we have needed voter ID here in Canada since before I was alive (46 years). It's never been a problem here. The only reason to oppose it is if you want to cheat.
Mail in voting already existed and was used prior to 2020 without issue. All that happened was more of them were used for obvious reasons given the pandemic. Each ballot still has to be individually linked to an actual voter on the election register regardless of how the votes arrive. You can't just show up with a big bag of ballots with a Biden tick on them. The fact Republicans still held the senate shows some republicans voted for republican senators but not for Trump as President. The numerous election recounts verified this. The thing is, you have descended into unfalsifiable claims now resorting to saying things like prove cheating didn't happen when you failed to prove it did after each ridiculous claim was debunked. Remember the claim about different pens or machines adding up the votes wrong. All the audits and recounts over and over. Each time nothing was proven there was a new wild idea had to be checked, "just in case". Numerous gov agencies involved with running the election, monitoring the election, homeland security, the DOJ and others all said the election was fair and secure. The main voice against that was the guy that always claims there was cheating when he loses and even when he won in 2016 but lost the popular vote.
@@markjohnson7887 Wait until the required voter id is costly or only the only acceptable form is one used more by certain demographics. Provide everyone in the country with free, easy to obtain acceptable voter ID first or its really voter suppression. Something republicans are very good at.
@@dorkangel1076 It's already free or really cheap (about $10) in every state. There are also organizations that will help you get one if you have trouble with it. It's a non issue.

@@dorkangel1076 Wait voter ID is not free? Here in India voter ID is provided for free and for life. Voter registration grounds look like fair grounds when ID correction booths are organized.
Were they wrong though? There were a large number of conspiracy theories about her. Some of them true and some were false. Anyway she also tended to make people cringe. She had an "ok boomer" vibe to her. Trump on the other hand sucked at everything, but still won for two main reasons. The first reason was that he was a man (America is sexist). The second reason was that Trump knew what his followers wanted to hear. He couldn't deliver on promises (border wall and MAGA being too examples). Well done, South Park.
That is kinda accurate, Trump really wasn't all that popular so all Clinton had to do was try not to piss off too many people and she couldn't even do that.
Completely accurate. There were maybe 3 people on the face of the earth that could have lost an election to Trump and the Democrats were stupid enough to find one of them, and run her against him.
Thanks for taking the time to make this as fact-based as possible, and going outside your normal comfort-zone of science to bring us this summary. Thanks Dave!!
at 7:00 "Trump was the only person to be elected president having held no political office of any kind nor served in the military prior to taking office." This is the part that got my attention. The office of President of the United States had just become a "No experience necessary" kind of job. WTF?
Amazing, isn't it, that someone who isn't part of a certain elite can make it this far thanks to the voters and do a - for his level of experience - ok job at it. Almost like back in ancient Greek democracy, when "politician" wasn't someone's main job.
@@CarTM correct, not part of the political elite, meaning those with "experience" in twisting the system and with the connections and vitamin B that others just don't have.

By the way, I know you did a video on electric potential, current and resistance, but do you think you could do a full series on circuit analysis? There's a lot of stuff that could be said in that field, and I'd honestly be interested to see it.
I was struggled to find a history documentary on modern politicians until you nailed it perfectly. Back then I was too afraid of misinformation from any directions whatsoever that I decided to wait until 2030's to safely read modern history so that I could find some objective documentary.
Thank you Prof. Dave you've giving me a better understanding on this matter and summarized and simplified it! Into a video that is unbiased and based on the facts, Thank you for helping me see the world in more in-depth ways, like a true teacher! live on, live strong!
I remember Trump referring to mainstream media as fake news before he was elected. All of that extra coverage you mentioned him getting in the campaign days was negative from the beginning, but it backfired on them.
i hope we get a cool president some day. One who focuses on keeping america beautiful, with clean water and well cared for national parks. And wild land restoration.
That USED TO BE Trump's goal, until he decided to turn into a total moron and remove everything good about our economy and throw a hissy fit when he didn't get re - elected
@@DarthZ01 One of my best friends is a Trump supporter. I've had many conversations with him. We generally disagree on almost everything. He does ignore facts when they're inconvenient though.
Although he's pretty filled in debt at that time, Trump's endeavor in creating a pro cycling event in the USA has put the country on the map in the professional cycling world. He only sponsored the event for 2 years, though, due to those looming debts, and in 1991 to 1996 the event (which was at that time called Tour de Trump) was then sponsored by DuPont. Yeah, that DuPont company known for their Teflon thing. Also, it's also around the same time that Greg LeMond became a household name in professional cycling, so it's a really good chance that he took to make an event to fill the gap that Coors Classic left.
Sometimes I just click again on this video and put it on background while I do other stuff. Dunno why but I just like browsing through these moments again now that it's over
As a far left progressive who, predictably, loathes trump, I believe that if trump had taken the pandemic more seriously, or seriously at all for that matter, he would of easily won reelection. It was his bungling response to the Corona virus that cost him a second term.
I don’t think he would have easily won, but I do think it would have been a tighter race. People would have been less inclined to vote if they didn’t think their loved ones lives were in constant danger due to inadequate action from the federal government.
I almost think you should change the title to "Donald J. Trump: A Brief Biography," just to make it more likely Trump supporters are more likely to see the video and get a (nearly) unbiased view... The facts speak for themselves, but anti-Trump people will almost always allow bias to leak in, making it much harder to communicate with Trump supporters.
I'm 20 seconds in... "Trump rose to fame by knowing how to use the media to get people to like him" Media since my childhood until Trump: Worshipped every US president like a god. Media since Trump: US President bashing non stop day in day out. Media after Trump: Back to worship the US president.
“Non stop bashing” but constantly talking about him- always having him center stage. “Bad press is better than no press”, Trump almost single handedly popularized the term “Fake News” and tweeted all his information to the public. Trump rose to fame by knowing how to use the media to get people to like him.
Dave you mention about covid being a divider in the USA when it should have brought people together. If it makes you feel better. It DID bring people together here in England. In ways that hadn’t been seen in 70+ years
It's wonderful to hear that that was the case for you guys over here we had a fucking dumbass president that basically convinced all of his followers to become incredibly hateful towards the actual professionals and experts who understood what the fuck was going on.
The main reason why the pandemic didn’t unite us is because we catagorized people who wore masks and vaccines as leftist and the people who didn’t vaccinate or wear masks as conservatives.
@@G-Dawg712 wow. That's so strange. It seems from an outsiders perspective that America is probably the most divided and nationalistic country since Germany in the 20s. Which is scary. It's also a shame. That said. If people were daft enough to decide not to vaccinate or ware masks in an attempt to make a perceived political statement. That's Darwinism in a rather brutal way.
I am an economist and saying Trump's actions did not help the American economy is simply incorrect. I am not saying it was all because Trump, but not giving him credit is simply being political. In contrast, we are seeing how Biden's policies are damaging the economy today. Neither should be held responsible for Covid obviously which has had the most damaging impact.
idk about that, 3 Million jobs lost during Trump’s presidency. The only thing he boosted was employment checks, which was a 6.7% boost but didn’t go well with 1.6% of jobs being lost in the US
Okay, you're an economist. Show me what research supports your view that Trump's economic policies helped the economy and that Biden's policies are responsible for the current economic situation. Just citing your profession doesn't give your opinion more clout.
@@aidenaune7008 wow, some crazy comments from you in that last comment - ANTIFA, Ukraine. The Prosecutor Biden wanted fired was called Viktor Shokin. Research his reputation and what other international organisations wanted him gone too before they would underwrite the loan to Ukraine. Here's an excerpt from the first impeachment hearing. Himes then asked Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs & senior corruption coordinator at the time , who was sworn under oath at the first impeachment: “Is what the president did in his phone call and what Joe Biden did in terms of Mr. Shokin, are those exactly the same things?” “I do not think they are the same things,” Kent replied. “What former Vice President Biden requested of former President of Ukraine Poroshenko was the removal of a corrupt prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who had undermined a program of assistance that we had spent, again, US taxpayer money to try to build an independent investigator unit to go after corrupt prosecutors.”
@@bonsa1guy the question is why, if he did it solely for valid reasons there is no problem; I've heard reports that burisma and Biden son were being investigated by him...if and ONLY of that is true it it as least a conflict of interest, having that job worh the associated documents that say Joe was attached to the accounts hunter was being paid into is a conflict of interest. Now, I'm NOT saying these are true, but I am saying there is more evidence Biden was corrupt than Trump was. So, let them investigate and prove his innocence. If hunter wasn't being investigated and Biden had no benefit from the job (that is suspicious why a person with no background or training in a job gets millions and again, IF his father was attached to the account) then that would be a conflict. If he is clear on all this why NOT let them investigate? I support the Trump investigation that led nowhere, if we can't apply the law equally (Hilary did erase an email server and was let off for that, even if she removed the proof of what may have been worse crimes she 100% proven erased evidence that was to be subpoenaed .. apply the laws and investigations equally or we will never mend the divide that literally is getting worse......one last side type example. You have people on both sides of climate change fighting....some will argue it is proven science we are screwed must fix now, but they shout right next to people who are saying 12 years and the world ends.....and shout and yell at those who oppose and ask for the facts. Some easy facts 1) the climate changes 2) humans have an impact on that change 3) we don't have a model that accurate predicts how bad or to what level of change or if change is even feasible 4) we do have semi vague models that mostly if not entirely predict that continuing on as is the problem will get bad in an unknown (20-1000 years? ....just throwing an example not a stat) and it is well known that the sooner you start to fix a snowball problem and the more energy (people, governments, money) you can throw back at it the easier to fix or complete avert it will be....but yelling you are killing the planet and refusing to discuss it do NOT male progress and just divide...same thing with Trump amd biden; both sides insist on yelling no one is listening and it is gonna get bad

The word love has never entered into my mind, it represents an emotional connection. Emotion forms the basis of support for most Trumpies. Emotion is irrational, unreasoning. I think that gives real insight into the Trump phenomenon.

Going through the entire playlist from start to finish has really given me perspective. While from our perspective the modern times may seem much more turbulent than the past, going through the presidencies, adressing each one with the same, admittadely short format, shows both how the political game has evolved from the days of nobility and imperialism to the days of corporate oligarchies, as well as how similar it remained throughout, with divisions, personal conflicts and temperaments all coming together to influence the political landscape.

True. We need a war on terror right now, because that is all most news is now, fear mongering one side against another.
So if you dare to have the idea that the currently powerful are wrong, that makes you a terrorist. It’s DOJ and DHS policy now. Disagreeing with school board policy qualifies FBI attention! (Seriously?!!) The likelihood this reality ends well is pretty small. Do we blame Trump for that, too? If he hadn’t driven the left and the political establishment nuts, it would not have happened. Or maybe it would have just been more subtle in implementation. Trump definitely ain’t that.
Fwiw, I unplugged from all news media around 2-3 years ago. I also quit voting. It had gotten to the point where I could no longer see any benefit whatsoever - it was just making me depressed and angry.
It was one of the kindest, most sensible things I've ever done for myself.

A video of him bragging he got a person fired in another country by withholding us aid........whether that was in his authority as vice president is question 1, if it was, is it true the guy was investigating either his son, or the business his son worked at; and if true was he getting money from a joint account with his son?
For the last one, assume it was within his authority; even if he had valid reasons, if his son or the company hsi son worked for was bring investigated (not certain; would need proof) then at the very least that is a conflict of interest; if he knew and did it anyway it may also be corruption but again, there are ifs

This video states that Trump's tax cuts resulted in tax cuts for everyone, but mostly for the rich. Actually the tax cuts for middle class Americans were ONLY TEMPORARY, ending after two years, while the tax cuts for the rich and big corporations WERE PERMANENT

It's kind of funny that everyone who comments with the claim that the video is "biased" or "inaccurate" also fails to clarify specifically which talking points they felt were inaccurate, or provide any evidence to backup these claims.
My only issue is that when said in this dry manner, it removes the exhaustion of the constant barrage of lies, bigoted and inflammatory sentiments and policies, embarrassing stupidity, and just the overall long lasting harmful effect caused by this administration.
@@jamescooke7243 except nothing has been found. Even that Arizona sham audit by a company named by a child (cyber ninjas lol) with ZERO experience led by republicans found nothing. What happened to the "kraken"? I thought that pillow guy had all the evidence? What happened with Rudy? Are you not going to mention how 45 placed someone in charge of the post office that began destroying equipment used by USPS to sort through mail before the election? Didn't his AG even say the election was good? How come it's only in places 45 lost, but not where he won? If there was really wide spread voter fraud, wouldn't you also need to check the areas where 45 won? Or is it a fair election ONLY when a republican wins?
@@jamescooke7243 “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double-checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result,”.
Dave is literally quoting a statement issued by the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). These words are from Trump's own administration, not rhetoric from CNN.
"The election stopped counting halfway through". This is not true. There is no evidence to suggest it, it was debunked and deemed false. What is true is that votes take a long time to count. Mail in Ballots, which were much greater in number this election due to obvious reasons, are not received all at once and it takes like two weeks for all of them to be received and counted. They can't keep counting votes that they have not yet received. Polling suggested that Democratic voters were much more likely to vote by mail than Republican voters.
You say there are UK studies to suggest mail-in ballots can be easily manipulated? Okay, where can I find those studies? I'd like to see them.
Mail-in Ballots have been a trusted part of the electoral process for years. It has really only ever been made a concern to people this last election, because Trump decided to push that narrative with no evidence to back it up. There are security measures in place to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of each vote. There is even a ballot tracker tool online so you can confirm for yourself that the correct vote was received and counted
So yeah...everything you said is wrong or completely unsubstantiated. And, as expected, you provide no evidence to suggest otherwise. So who is really the one spewing biased rhetoric here?
A biggly fair reading I think.
Thanks Prof. Dave.
This has to be the most unbiased, purely factual expose I've EVER seen. Good on ya Dave!

First Step Act passed unanimously in the Senate it's first go around, a large enough margin in the house where a voice vote was enough, then for amendments with large enough majorities in both that even had Trump not signed it, they had the numbers to say "screw you, veto overridden".
Hell, Trump was even initially against it. Scarily enough Kushner had more to do with getting people on board with it than Trump did. And many of Trump's "accomplishments" are along those sorts of lines. Bills that were too popular for him to block and him being made to come around to them, only to then pass to an extent that frankly Congress at the time pretty much deserves far more credit. Hell, I'd only go so far as to say the only credit he deserves is not engaging in his usual loud rabble-raising lying to force more Republicans against it and that's a pretty damn low bar.

One minor criticism, the TTP was universally seen as an apocalyptic trade deal for the working class, you kinda stuck the accidental good thing he did with some of the worst shit in his presidency, it should have been more separated so nobody thinks the TTP was a good thing and that we should bring it back, it literally gives multinational corporations the right to arbitration in their own "courts" over the courts of the countries these decisions would affect, rendering sovereignty on trade issues obsolete
Yeah, the one thing were is nationalism and racism was accidentally a good thing for the rest of us.
Sorry but this is utter nonsense. This is what happens a massive and technical trade document gets churned through the political meat grinder.
It did not introduce new corporate courts that override entire countries, as you and other ill-informed reactionaries claim. It expanded the **existing** Investor-state Dispute Settlement (ISDS) to cover the terms of the TPP. This has a process that has existed for over 60 years and is used for hundreds of other treaties with the same conditions. The US has never once lost a case under treaties like NAFTA with this system. It is widely successful as a means of enforcing international law. Both the investor and the state must come to an agreement under the ISDS, and the state gets to **pick a judge**. The state wins the majority of ISDS claims, and a claim can only be pushed forward if an investor can prove a country breached a trade agreement and caused lost profits. Entirely reasonable.
The TPP has been widely praised by virtually every economic institution. It removed global tariffs (which do nothing good for the economy), and introduced labor standards that banned child/forced labor, required minimum compensation, banned workplace discrimination, gave unionization rights, workplace safety rights and allowed trade sanctions for violating labor rights. This is huge because the US GSP program has proven that labor standards can indeed be properly enforced in trade deals. It also includes a huge range of environmental and biodiversity protections.
There is a reason almost every advanced economy was rushing to get on board, it was the path forward to distancing the global economy from China and moving to freer global trade with the greatest labor protections in history. Instead Trump bailed, the program became less effective (Though still successful for participating countries) and now China got to negotiate the RCEP and set the terms instead of the US.
@@battleoftheadds It's not an all around amazing thing, no. It'd be good for companies, I'm sure. Probably even for the economy at large.
But I can't see how removing tariffs and financial regulations would benefit low income workers. Cheaper goods at the expense of employment conditions is what they have gotten out of the predecessors of TTP. It's obvious why a good part of the public is skeptical about these deals, and why they'd be willing to go as far as voting on someone like Trump to stop them.

Why are people looking for alternative medicine? Some people are just dumb, of too deep into magic thinking. But regular medicine being implicated in huge scams (e.g. Purdue, the EpiPen dudes, etc.) doesn't help.

It's the same with flat earth, creationism, etc. Obviously there will always be a portion of the population that are just that dumb, but some people are drawn into these idiotic beliefs when they see government and companies plotting together to keep their life miserable while they rake in millions.
And in this particular case, it's a fact that wages have been not been keeping up with productivity or GDP. So can you guess why people seem to be giving less fucks about increasing those?

That's like choosing to live in a filthy room that gathers more and more cockroaches because other people didn't clean their own rooms first. The world doesn't have time for this bullshit
The United States could have easily led the world on climate change and was in a great position to do exactly that. Ironically if Trump agreed to the Paris agreement, it would have set a precedent for other nations to follow, including China. It's much easier to pressure China into doing their part when the rest of the world does.
Sadly Trump not only pulled out of agreements, but also actively blocked and silenced climate change research so he could continue ignoring the problem. I'm sorry but "china though" is not a good excuse for the enormous dent Trump placed in the progress that science was making

I'm pretty familiar with the Arizona audit, the few cases they claim to have found involving people voting more than once have not yet been substantiated. Even if they are demonstrated, they wouldn't be enough to be to make the 2020 election statistically anomalous to any other modern American election that I'm aware of. They wouldn't even be enough to refute the claim they made that this was "the most secure election in American history" lol. But of course, they certainly could be true, and there certainly could still be more they didn't find.
I appreciate the free and open discourse my friend.
To be fair, while it is proven there was fraud this election, that can be said for any election we have good records for. I think the problem is the REFUSAL to investigate. Let them investigate their hearts out (they did it to Trump and found nothing for russiagate).if nothing is found then we can bring people together and say hey, you lost, deal with it. It isn't just silencing different opinions, it is the one sided nature of the rules and the laws.....they are not being applied equally and unless they do, it is likely going to lead to civil war, hopefully after I'm long dead.
Just more example, there us MORE evidence Biden used his influence as vice president to stop an investigation into his son (and evidence has come forward to implicate him) than their was for Trump Russia. We do NOT have enough evidence to say he is guilty, nor enough to say he even had a conflict of interest, but there is more than enough that an investigation should have been done, it was not and media declared that it had and that no proof was found, lie.

Would love to see a video where you explain your assertion at 14:25 that there was "clear evidence that the 2020 election was the most secure election in American history". We made a sudden shift to widespread mail-in voting and ballot harvesting due to the pandemic, and continue to see resistance to voter ID. What controls are in place to ensure the ballots received are confirmed to be from a legal voter and are counted properly? Seems like just asking the question is treated as a "threat to democracy" when election integrity is the most important thing to ensure a healthy representative republic.
It wasn't the most secure election, of course. It was the exact opposite. And we have needed voter ID here in Canada since before I was alive (46 years). It's never been a problem here. The only reason to oppose it is if you want to cheat.
Mail in voting already existed and was used prior to 2020 without issue. All that happened was more of them were used for obvious reasons given the pandemic. Each ballot still has to be individually linked to an actual voter on the election register regardless of how the votes arrive. You can't just show up with a big bag of ballots with a Biden tick on them. The fact Republicans still held the senate shows some republicans voted for republican senators but not for Trump as President. The numerous election recounts verified this. The thing is, you have descended into unfalsifiable claims now resorting to saying things like prove cheating didn't happen when you failed to prove it did after each ridiculous claim was debunked. Remember the claim about different pens or machines adding up the votes wrong. All the audits and recounts over and over. Each time nothing was proven there was a new wild idea had to be checked, "just in case". Numerous gov agencies involved with running the election, monitoring the election, homeland security, the DOJ and others all said the election was fair and secure. The main voice against that was the guy that always claims there was cheating when he loses and even when he won in 2016 but lost the popular vote.

Were they wrong though? There were a large number of conspiracy theories about her. Some of them true and some were false. Anyway she also tended to make people cringe. She had an "ok boomer" vibe to her.
Trump on the other hand sucked at everything, but still won for two main reasons. The first reason was that he was a man (America is sexist). The second reason was that Trump knew what his followers wanted to hear. He couldn't deliver on promises (border wall and MAGA being too examples).
Well done, South Park.
That is kinda accurate, Trump really wasn't all that popular so all Clinton had to do was try not to piss off too many people and she couldn't even do that.
Completely accurate.
There were maybe 3 people on the face of the earth that could have lost an election to Trump and the Democrats were stupid enough to find one of them, and run her against him.
Thanks for taking the time to make this as fact-based as possible, and going outside your normal comfort-zone of science to bring us this summary. Thanks Dave!!
Thx for being unbiased and factual prof! As a non-american it's sometimes hard to separate the truth from all the bs.

@@povotaknight2063 President Trump?...His record speaks for itself, doesn't it?
at 7:00 "Trump was the only person to be elected president having held no political office of any kind nor served in the military prior to taking office." This is the part that got my attention. The office of President of the United States had just become a "No experience necessary" kind of job. WTF?
Amazing, isn't it, that someone who isn't part of a certain elite can make it this far thanks to the voters and do a - for his level of experience - ok job at it. Almost like back in ancient Greek democracy, when "politician" wasn't someone's main job.
@@KangMinseok So inheriting a multi million dollar business doesn't mean your part of the "elite"?
@@CarTM correct, not part of the political elite, meaning those with "experience" in twisting the system and with the connections and vitamin B that others just don't have.
Pretty much, now that "we" elected his dumb ass again...all employers need to remove any experience needed or background checks.
No matter where you are politically I would say Trump represents the difference being born into wealth or poverty makes. A lot more forgiveness for those born into wealth.
Can you please do a biography of our current president Joe Biden as well please

Wow! Really expanding the subject matter of the channel! I like it!
By the way, I know you did a video on electric potential, current and resistance, but do you think you could do a full series on circuit analysis? There's a lot of stuff that could be said in that field, and I'd honestly be interested to see it.
I was struggled to find a history documentary on modern politicians until you nailed it perfectly. Back then I was too afraid of misinformation from any directions whatsoever that I decided to wait until 2030's to safely read modern history so that I could find some objective documentary.
Thank you Prof. Dave you've giving me a better understanding on this matter and summarized and simplified it! Into a video that is unbiased and based on the facts, Thank you for helping me see the world in more in-depth ways, like a true teacher! live on, live strong!
I remember Trump referring to mainstream media as fake news before he was elected. All of that extra coverage you mentioned him getting in the campaign days was negative from the beginning, but it backfired on them.
i hope we get a cool president some day. One who focuses on keeping america beautiful, with clean water and well cared for national parks. And wild land restoration.
maybe a cowboy of sorts
@@fhd297 We could make plusses of whatever his nickname is.
Perhaps a guy with the kind of grit to continue delivering a speech after getting shot.
I imagine if he rode horses, he would be a very rough rider.
That USED TO BE Trump's goal, until he decided to turn into a total moron and remove everything good about our economy and throw a hissy fit when he didn't get re - elected
Today I learned that Trump supporters are offended by a strict recounting of the facts.
Well yes because facts just don’t work for them. They just don’t like it.
😂
Facts are too hard for them to understand. If Trump didn't say it, then it isn't true.
@@pauliep213 They also like to deny problems like racism, climate change, etc
@@FrogToTheFrog exactly.
@@DarthZ01 One of my best friends is a Trump supporter. I've had many conversations with him. We generally disagree on almost everything.
He does ignore facts when they're inconvenient though.
Very informative, good work.
This was an excellent video on his presidency but I would include the near war with Iran and the geroge Floide protests.
Although he's pretty filled in debt at that time, Trump's endeavor in creating a pro cycling event in the USA has put the country on the map in the professional cycling world. He only sponsored the event for 2 years, though, due to those looming debts, and in 1991 to 1996 the event (which was at that time called Tour de Trump) was then sponsored by DuPont. Yeah, that DuPont company known for their Teflon thing.
Also, it's also around the same time that Greg LeMond became a household name in professional cycling, so it's a really good chance that he took to make an event to fill the gap that Coors Classic left.
Sometimes I just click again on this video and put it on background while I do other stuff. Dunno why but I just like browsing through these moments again now that it's over
Oh, I was waiting for this.
As a far left progressive who, predictably, loathes trump, I believe that if trump had taken the pandemic more seriously, or seriously at all for that matter, he would of easily won reelection. It was his bungling response to the Corona virus that cost him a second term.
Im not sure about that, the areas that suffered the worst from covid still voted for him heavily
@@legocat0306 denial
@@legocat0306 sorry to hear of your condition. Maybe your parents can help you find a better doctor?
I don’t think he would have easily won, but I do think it would have been a tighter race. People would have been less inclined to vote if they didn’t think their loved ones lives were in constant danger due to inadequate action from the federal government.
I agree.
Thankfully. So happy to learn this! Thank you Professor Dave!

I almost think you should change the title to "Donald J. Trump: A Brief Biography," just to make it more likely Trump supporters are more likely to see the video and get a (nearly) unbiased view... The facts speak for themselves, but anti-Trump people will almost always allow bias to leak in, making it much harder to communicate with Trump supporters.
Oh man I’ve been waiting for this.
Yeah, let's not forget that one of the ways ol' Fred Trump avoided paying taxes was by putting profits in his son's name.
I'm 20 seconds in... "Trump rose to fame by knowing how to use the media to get people to like him"
Media since my childhood until Trump: Worshipped every US president like a god.
Media since Trump: US President bashing non stop day in day out.
Media after Trump: Back to worship the US president.
“Non stop bashing” but constantly talking about him- always having him center stage. “Bad press is better than no press”, Trump almost single handedly popularized the term “Fake News” and tweeted all his information to the public.
Trump rose to fame by knowing how to use the media to get people to like him.
Totally agree, but maybe, just maybe they bash trump because is an idiot incompetent? You call it bashing, i call it facing reality!
Seriously, Were you born the day Trump was elected?
@@SavageJunky agree - the arguments always went
Normal human: “trump said this stupid thing”

Dave you mention about covid being a divider in the USA when it should have brought people together. If it makes you feel better. It DID bring people together here in England. In ways that hadn’t been seen in 70+ years
It's wonderful to hear that that was the case for you guys over here we had a fucking dumbass president that basically convinced all of his followers to become incredibly hateful towards the actual professionals and experts who understood what the fuck was going on.
The main reason why the pandemic didn’t unite us is because we catagorized people who wore masks and vaccines as leftist and the people who didn’t vaccinate or wear masks as conservatives.
@@G-Dawg712 wow. That's so strange. It seems from an outsiders perspective that America is probably the most divided and nationalistic country since Germany in the 20s. Which is scary.
It's also a shame.
That said. If people were daft enough to decide not to vaccinate or ware masks in an attempt to make a perceived political statement. That's Darwinism in a rather brutal way.
Good video. I was a little surprised you mentioned his first wife, but not Melania since she was First Lady.
I am an economist and saying Trump's actions did not help the American economy is simply incorrect. I am not saying it was all because Trump, but not giving him credit is simply being political. In contrast, we are seeing how Biden's policies are damaging the economy today. Neither should be held responsible for Covid obviously which has had the most damaging impact.
idk about that, 3 Million jobs lost during Trump’s presidency. The only thing he boosted was employment checks, which was a 6.7% boost but didn’t go well with 1.6% of jobs being lost in the US
What about the trade war and tax cuts that were only invested in dividends rather than company growth?
Okay, you're an economist. Show me what research supports your view that Trump's economic policies helped the economy and that Biden's policies are responsible for the current economic situation. Just citing your profession doesn't give your opinion more clout.
Trump crashed several Casinos... now that is really hard to do. What a genius he is.

It was really a mixture of news outlets calling him out on his lies and news outlets intentionally misquoting him.

@@churblefurbles Details and specifics weren't given, but nearly all of the info that's in this video is factually true.
@Roberto Vidal Garcia Yes, agree
@@aidenaune7008 wow, some crazy comments from you in that last comment - ANTIFA, Ukraine. The Prosecutor Biden wanted fired was called Viktor Shokin. Research his reputation and what other international organisations wanted him gone too before they would underwrite the loan to Ukraine.
Here's an excerpt from the first impeachment hearing. Himes then asked Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs & senior corruption coordinator at the time , who was sworn under oath at the first impeachment:
“Is what the president did in his phone call and what Joe Biden did in terms of Mr. Shokin, are those exactly the same things?”
“I do not think they are the same things,” Kent replied. “What former Vice President Biden requested of former President of Ukraine Poroshenko was the removal of a corrupt prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who had undermined a program of assistance that we had spent, again, US taxpayer money to try to build an independent investigator unit to go after corrupt prosecutors.”
@@bonsa1guy the question is why, if he did it solely for valid reasons there is no problem; I've heard reports that burisma and Biden son were being investigated by him...if and ONLY of that is true it it as least a conflict of interest, having that job worh the associated documents that say Joe was attached to the accounts hunter was being paid into is a conflict of interest. Now, I'm NOT saying these are true, but I am saying there is more evidence Biden was corrupt than Trump was. So, let them investigate and prove his innocence. If hunter wasn't being investigated and Biden had no benefit from the job (that is suspicious why a person with no background or training in a job gets millions and again, IF his father was attached to the account) then that would be a conflict. If he is clear on all this why NOT let them investigate? I support the Trump investigation that led nowhere, if we can't apply the law equally (Hilary did erase an email server and was let off for that, even if she removed the proof of what may have been worse crimes she 100% proven erased evidence that was to be subpoenaed .. apply the laws and investigations equally or we will never mend the divide that literally is getting worse......one last side type example. You have people on both sides of climate change fighting....some will argue it is proven science we are screwed must fix now, but they shout right next to people who are saying 12 years and the world ends.....and shout and yell at those who oppose and ask for the facts. Some easy facts
1) the climate changes
2) humans have an impact on that change
3) we don't have a model that accurate predicts how bad or to what level of change or if change is even feasible
4) we do have semi vague models that mostly if not entirely predict that continuing on as is the problem will get bad in an unknown (20-1000 years? ....just throwing an example not a stat) and it is well known that the sooner you start to fix a snowball problem and the more energy (people, governments, money) you can throw back at it the easier to fix or complete avert it will be....but yelling you are killing the planet and refusing to discuss it do NOT male progress and just divide...same thing with Trump amd biden; both sides insist on yelling no one is listening and it is gonna get bad
charitable? why the fuck would you want anyone to be charitibale to Donald Trump? A traitor, and a simp to tyrants like Kim Jung Un and Putin. Fuck charity for that clown .
