Letter: Put aside Trump, Biden; things better or worse?

I am growing weary about reading how bad a president and person Donald Trump was during his term. I would like the anti-Trumpers to just look at a few things; I’m not asking them to invite Trump to dinner.

What did the following items cost you before Jan. 20, 2021, when Joe Biden was sworn into office?

How much was a gallon of gas?

How much was a quart, or a gallon, of milk?

How much was pound of butter?

How much were a dozen eggs?

How many stores or businesses closed down in your area because of theft and crime?

How many immigrants were allowed to enter the United States without proper documentation or follow-through on documentation?

What were interest rates on home loans?

Forget the names Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Just look at your answers.
