>>1. 400 air traffic controllers were not fired. That is a fact. Administrative staff yes, controllers no.<<
You are mostly correct. No controllers were fired, and in fact the FAA continues to recruit, hire, and train controllers. However, it wasn't just "Administrative staff" that lost their jobs. The firings included those who maintain radar, communications, and other critical equipment that controllers rely on. Letting those people go was stupid and incredibly irresponsible, potentially putting public safety at risk.
>>2. accelerating upgrades to air traffic systems to be made. Another fact and much needed<<
Yes, true. HOWEVER, you have tried to pin the delays of the upgrades on Biden (and, presumably, his Administration). That's NOT true. The Biden Administration was repeatedly blocked by Republicans in Congress from spending money to upgrade those systems.
>>3. Anyone can see the US/China trade deal is a big deal. Fact<<
Nooo, not a "fact" at all. The only "fact" is that Trump went to an old pattern of his: Create a problem, then back-track/reverse course/back down, and then claim credit for winning, or making a "big deal" as you put it. That's just complete bullsh!t. He's done it before, and he's doing it with this China "deal" that's not really a "deal."
>>4. CPI Eased<<
I don't know enough about this one to comment.
Just as we almost always see here, your perspective is, shall we say, skewed.
