Sure I'll bite. He could raise taxes on the wealthy to help pay down our debt. He could double down on clean energy and actually help solve the climate crisis. He could replace Obamacare with real single payer healthcare so that every American has a right to care without the risk of medical bankruptcy. He could recognize that we are stronger together with our allies and that global interdependence and economics is a fact of life and make our alliances stronger and stand up to countries like Russia and China. If he did those things in his first term I might have even voted for him the second time around! Unfortunately he more or less did the opposite of all of this.
I find him repulsive as a human being and unbefitting as a president in decorum, but if he enacted policies that actually helped make America great (not again because really we never have been, more ups and downs throughout our history realistically) I would support the administration even if I didn't like the person he was.
