In the last nearly 4 years, has your life been directly impacted by the presidency of trump? I don't mean indirectly, like other people protesting, I mean clear, concrete changes through stuff like policy or laws he's affected?

The rise in the stock market and the changes to the tax laws for parents both positively impacted me directly. I agree, he is not the devil, nor is he a Messiah. I think he’s truly served to widen the divide between parties, but overall, it’s a net positive for me.

Please add in the survey of whether the media coverage has, by itself, made life poorer (at least socially) the last four years That is , add-in the indirect, "like other people protesting" part

I think his complete non-response to the coming pandemic, when he had the best intelligence service in the world begging to inform him and take action, qualifies as clear negative change for all. If this were an invasion rather than a pandemic, people would call for his head.

I don’t know how *any* American is saying “no noticable change” when we’re trying to social distance, keep our jobs, and generally continue to lead some semblence of a happy productive life without catching a deadly and still mysterious disease. They’re not thinking through this.

Trump is not the devil, but he is too devisive. America needs a statesman who can bring people together. Such a President can even be a conservative, but they need to be diplomatic. They need to be able to sell their vision to a wider segment of society than Trump can.

n/a shouldn't be with "not american" and I mean that in the sense that (trump's) presidency has had a poignant impact on the world. I expect 1/2-3/4 of n/a are really "yes, net negatively" and either they don't know it yet or are banking on other locals not realizing too soon.
