You say that like Trump’s biggest legislative accomplishment wasn’t a massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.
That's not true, he also accelerated the decline of America and turned many of America's allies against us.
Also he had that handsome hamburger party that one time. That was pretty funny, probably his favorite day of being president.

Something tells me they don't like Trump, either.
With a Republican controlled House and Senate, no less.
Complete control of the government, carte blanche to enact yr policies ... All they can do is pass a tax cut.
Republicans are the most ineffective political body in the world. More so than Democrats, who's only bid to relevancy is "I'm not them!" while simultaneously only passing Republican written legislation.
So the cycle, take note, is Republicans get power because Democrats don't do shit for anyone on main Street, who've seen their living conditions fall to third world status (3rd world has cell phones too people, like 90% of humanity has a cell phone), bicker about social issues and imagined offensives then pass a tax cut and forgive debts to the people held by Big business. Supreme court shenanigans whenever possible. Democrats get elected with nice stories of going to Disney land. Get in, can't do anything they promised cuz reasons but they pass the Republican think tank written policies cuz gotta point at something. BUUUT no field trip for you, get back to work. Get booted out because now I'm 47, living in a Kia with my 2 dogs and hamster and I've never been to the Disneyverse. Get told the economy is doing better everyday. Every other day someone else I know ends up homeless.
Rinse, repeat. The American way.
The goal of the Democratic party is to make sure they exist alongside the Republican party.
