Regardless of your political leanings, I feel most people looking at President Trump's policies and executive actions might want to take a deeper look.
Just for us gamers here is one look at his policy:
Video game violence
Trump has voiced his opposition to video game violence. After it was erroneously reported that the Sandy Hook shooter frequently played violent video games, Trump tweeted, "Video game violence & glorification must be stopped—it is creating monsters!"[336][337]
After the 2019 El Paso shooting, Trump said in a speech, "We must stop the glorification of violence in our society. This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace. It is too easy today for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence. We must stop or substantially reduce this and it has to begin immediately."[338]
Online gambling
Trump supports online gambling, based on the following reasoning: "This has to happen because many other countries are doing it and like usual the U.S. is just missing out."[339]
I don't think either of these viewpoints align with most video game player's views.
The above info is from the Political positions of Trump Wiki. There is more, much much more. But if you're really interested in a big picture view of his agenda there is a lot to learn and consider.
Of course, if you just want to bask in your echo chamber then enjoy yourself. I'm not about to enter into a discourse with anyone who doesn't try to understand or even believe in the facts.
