In order:

1) economy is worst shape in decades. Millionaires like Trump are making out like robber barons while everyone else is scraping by.
2) covid19 pandemic response has wiped out gains by women. Women are disproportionately hit by the job losses and need for child care, education of kids, etc.
3) unemployment for persons of color is higher than when Trump inherited the strong and stable economy from President Obama.

4) North Korea is working on missiles and nukes without a deal. Trump got a photo op.
5) ISIS is resurgent across the Middle East
6) Israel-Arab normalization is a cover for arms deals to thwart a resurgent Iran that is working on its nuclear program thanks to Trump shredding the JCPOA. Everyone in region is worried about Iran, so they’re going to Israel and the US for missile defense systems to protect themselves from an Iranian threat.

7) Stock market has barely risen from where Trump inherited from President Obama. Trump’s stock market gains were essentially nullified by his disastrous covid19 response.
8) Far more were pushed/shoved into poverty thanks to Trump’s disastrous covid19 response. 50 million were unemployed by Trump’s failed policies. About half have managed to get jobs recovered (return to jobs previously held). Many jobs will never come back because the businesses themselves went bankrupt.
