By sending out the $2000 checks to Americans that Trump wanted to send out last year?
By withdrawing troops from Afghanistan after they said it was wreckless to be doing it when Trump wanted to?
Another dumb as nails liberal economist. But I repeat myself.
Those pulling his strings - Hussein 0bama and soros - are making sure he is the WORST EVER, hands down!

Hey Mr. Third Reich Fascist - it looks like Sleepy Joe will be lucky to get 50 cents on the dollar of his latest Socialist scams thru Schmucky Schumer’s Senate. Does that mean Sleepy’s remaining days (until he’s six feet under) will extremely unpopular, according to the same fake polls??
Robert Reich? Seriously?
Give it time.
Not me.
Come and tell that to all the shuttered businesses in my town, some of them in business for decades, which will never re-open.
Who is this "most Americans"? - it certainly doesn't include me, my family or anyone else I know.
He must mean "for most Commies" it doesn't feel radical.
I pine for the take Rush would undoubtedly have on this love letter.
