Oh, as despicable as Putin is, he's the one who's pulling the strings and you just can't see that through your rose tinted glasses. Trump is a source of ridicule around the world, unfit to even be in politics let alone "leader" of one of the biggest superpowers...

Well of course it didn't. Putin would far rather have an inept and egotistical clown in office and that's what he (and America) got unfortunately.
Competition?
I live in California, the illegal's are standing 50-100 deep in the Home Depot parking lots, protected by the democratic sanctuary cities, working for a fraction of the wage.
These illegals in the past 10 years push around ice cream, corn, taco, fruit carts, (Protected) tax free, competing directly with local storefront restraunts, driving them out of business as property values and the tax base drops.
The Liberal Democrats have no end to their chaos, they have sold America out!

I live in California too, I was born here. I've been to various Home Depots many, many times over the years and never have I seen what you describe.
There's aren't enough taco carts that could even put even a tiny dent in the booming (before Covid, anyway) restaurant and tourism industry here, and definitely not enough to be driving them out of business.
Sounds like you're telling a racist fairytale.
