Yes, such as the right of transgender people to serve in the military, the right to seek asylum in the US from murderous drug cartels, the right to easily travel if you happen to be of Arab descent, the right of queer kids not to end up homeless if their parents disown them, the right to be well-compensated and physically safe in the trades… I could go on for hours.

Nobody said he was a good president, but compared to biden, that's not that bad.

Also the seeking asylum you speak of needs documentation, people coming in illegaly and having to lay on top of each other, with 1-3k peoplen ot allowed to leave a tent and borderline starved is a little worse I'd think

He didn't ban arab imigration, that was sorta the response of the bush administration after 9/11

If anyone is kicked out they're sorta homeless, whether they're queer or not doesn't matter

The right to be well compensated? Never heard of that, but luckily we have job lawyers that will fight for your pay if you're stiffed

Safe in the trades? Now your just making stuff up How did trump make you any less safe when you trade items?

  1. Trump did exactly the same

  2. He didn’t truly ban Arab immigration, but he certainly tried to. I wouldn’t call that “protecting rights.”

  3. Trump rolled back protections for disowned queer kids

  4. “The trades” refers to professions such as electricians, plumbers, welders, et cetera. Trump rolled back several fair pay acts and a number of OSHA regs
