The facts show that's just not the case. He took a humming economy and tried to jolt the hell out of it because...reasons. (Ego and his infantile understanding of economics)
His major "achievements" were a tax cut that involved temporarily throwing a few nickels at everyone not a millionaire. Millionaires of course got permanent tax cuts.
Oh and a bungled trade war (which are "easy to win!") which necessitated a massive bailout of American farmers and pushed massive tariff fees onto ordinary Americans. Trump of course insists that China paid those billions into tarffis...which, yet again, show his infantile understanding of economics(
And considering how inextricably linked Pandemic strategy is to Economic strategy and vice versa, attempting to make a distinction between the two is pretty disingenuous.
Let me be clear that I'm not arguing the necessity of changing the economic paradigm between the United States and China. I'm arguing the Trump's methodology was stupid and self-destructive.
Maybe DOR can explain things better than I can but the last 4 years have been case study in how not to treat an economy.
