This week, Republicans have tried to rewrite the four years of Trump’s presidency as a time of unparalleled peace, prosperity and tranquility: “the strongest economy in history,” as Senator Katie Britt of Alabama put it.
“President Trump honored the Constitution,” said Gov.
Glenn Youngkin of Virginia offered Mr. Trump’s first term as an example of “common-sense conservative leadership.”The record of what Mr. Trump actually did in office bears little resemblance to that description.
For Americans who may have forgotten that time, or pushed it from memory, we offer this timeline of his presidency.
Mr. Trump’s first term was a warning about what he will do with the power of his office — unless American voters reject him.
