Well, see…I didn’t think the economy ran because of Trump, it ran despite Trump. I felt we were in some kind lurid reality show lurching from self inflicted crisis to self inflicted crisis. And then, when he lost the election, he essentially abandoned office, stopped doing his job and refused to do a smooth transition which left people scrambling. We had no credibility on the world syptage under Trump either and Biden has one advantage there, when he negotiates, it is in good faith. Whether that will repair the damage Trump did remains to be seen.
Trump started with an economy that had a record length of continuous growth and left us with a wrecked economy, high unemployment and a raging pandemic. Biden entered office with all that, and now the economy and unemployment are better but we have horrible inflation. Now is any of this the fault of Trump or Biden? Not really imo, there are limitations as to what a president can do on the economy even less when it is a world wide phenomena. What it HAS done is highlight our weaknesses, especially in the supply chain and imo the president should start the ball rolling on addressing that. The other thing is we are looking at Trump over four years. Biden has only had one year so far. It isn’t impressive but then, presidents often fumble in their first year and that is when you tend to see some cabinet reshuffling and such.
My expectations are modest so we will see. For me personally, what I miss are tbe Obama years and I do feel, at this time at least, that Biden is a weak president.
