Remind him that when Trump was prez & had both the House & the Senate all he did was pass tax cuts for the rich (our expire in another year or so) & try to reverse Obamacare, which they could never do. They didn't build the wall & for all their stock market yeehaw BS, it's higher now than it's ever been. Ask him to Google how much money his state got from Biden's infrastructure bill & how they're going to spend it.

Waste of breath though. He won't listen.
