Iowa Republican says Biden has been good and Trump is a terrible person—so he's voting for Trump?

Chris Mudd is the CEO of Midwest Solar, a solar panel installation company based in Iowa. His business has picked up in a big way since President Joe Biden came into office. Mudd admits as much, telling CNN that “there are lots of grants available to business owners. The tax credit.” That’s nice to hear since Biden has made solar and renewable energy a big part of his administration’s focus.

This is where the record scratches as according to CNN, Mudd would “prefer that tax credit money be spent on a border wall and hopes for a Donald Trump comeback.” Mudd tells CNN that he doesn’t think Donald Trump is “perfect.” In fact, he doesn’t even like the guy. “Personally, I'm not a big fan of who he is and what he does and how he lives. But I think the decisions and the things that he did for our country were good.”

Like what, exactly? Trump’s 30% solar tariff? His other financial attacks on the renewable energy industry? The Republican tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans? His disastrous handling of the global pandemic?
