Not regarding the economy I didn’t. He didn’t disrupt the economy, Covid did. To the extent that he fucked up the response to Covid maybe he made it worse but the ultimate cause was Covid. Before Covid, the economy was mostly good, thanks to the recovery measures put into place by Obama and the Democrats after the 2008 recession getting it back in shape for smooth sailing. There’s a good example of how presidents can affect the long term but have very little effect in the short term.
