Descendants and others reflect on the legacy of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal which pulled the U.S. out of the Great Depression, as the Trump administration slashes the federal government.

My personal belief is that Trump is an enemy of the people, all people, globally. He’s on par with Hitler…but would he have the courage to bite the cyanide capsule?
Ummm... along with the New Deal & govt work created held people together before ww2.
FDR wanted to do even more but GOP held him back. Why did WW2 pull us out? Cuz took FDR's govt spending up massively & gave govt jobs & industry to even more.
Of course, the prudent conservative thing to have done after getting out of the depression, WW2 ending, & our economy booming would have been to tax wealthy (who don't fight in wars but benefit from poor sacrifice) & pay back debt invested to stop depression&Nazis.
Defend our democracy! 🗳️ This April 29, rise against injustice and stand up for what's right. Be part of protests and sit-ins in all 50 states. Let's make a difference together!
Donald Trump was the only person to grow up in the 1970s, too dumb to realize that Archie Bunker and "Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again" were supposed to be a joke to laugh at.
well yeah, the GOP and trump can't stand the idea of people actually being able to live their lives. so they have to destroy EVERYTHING that created that "beautiful economy" of the 50s that they idolize so much.
When history is written Trump’s name will be synonymous to racist, bigot, dictator, authoritarian, Putin’s puppet, conman (probably the greatest) who conned America into believing he will make their lives better. That he alone can solve everything. That he is sent by god.
MAGAs want to undo every social advance of the past 125 years — especially the New Deal, the Great Society and the Sexual Revolution so they can return to the Gilded Age of the turn of the last century.
Trumpism will cost us almost everything. By the time we rid the US of this plague it will require decades to recover and the same short attention span populace will not learn or remember, and elect another one eventually. They could not even remember how his Big Lie was totally debunked 4 years ago!
Wish Democrats would honor FDR by running on progressive, New Deal policies again... Instead of shifting more and more center right. We don't need a Conservative Lite party. We want a true progressive party!
My fear: given the cuts to education since Reagan, a lack of empathy and critical thinking skills, and a global push to the far right, combined with this administration’s gutting of the government - I don’t know if we can ever elect a progressive in the US. That’s assuming we have elections.

Trump: The Raw Deal

It wasn't the war itself.
But it ramped up his policies in multiples.
If war simply helped the economy, 2008 recession wouldn't have happened. Nor current. We just got done with 20 yrs of war.
But of course we never do that.
