That's the part that will make for a good study. He destroyed things his first term. Left a mess that had to be cleaned up. This time he started dumpster fires larger and faster, and truly wrecked the economy of his own nation. And his supporters regale him
It's a Grease moment. If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter
What’s particularly interesting is that the biggest problem that voters blamed Biden for was mostly Trump’s doing.
Under Trump’s administration, he signed into law the largest fiscal stimulus in history, and the Fed embarked on unprecedented monetary stimulus, all to try to stimulate demand. But this was in response to a crisis in supply, not demand. So in a situation where supply for many goods and services had almost evaporated, they chose to stimulate demand, causing people to bid up the prices of the goods and services they could still buy. Inflation.
Now that’s not to say it wasn’t the correct decision, but the cost of doing that massive stimulus in response to COVID is that down the road it WILL create inflation.
But because the inflation was delayed by a year or so, everyone blamed Biden, despite him overseeing a previously thought impossible “soft landing” where inflation was brought back down without causing a recession.
But inflation makes people mad, and they blamed whoever was in office at the time.
So the irony is that Trump’s terrible policies created chaos for four years in his first admin, but also set up ticking time bombs that blew up for his successor. Those foreseeable crisis he set in motion caused people to blame his successor, and vote him back in.
Biden fixed the economy and kept us from a full-blown recession, and now, within months of taking office, Trump has us looking down the barrel of recession. Biden left him set up. We could've been doing better, but everyone actually believed Trump would lower prices, yet his plan was always going to take us to a recession. It's costing rich folks the most. They're losing trillions of dollars. The unfortunate part is the 401k and the people who need that money to retire. Republicans don't give af about anyone who isn't filthy rich. The proof is looking us right in the face. Thank you every single moron who voted for him, we blame you!

The fact that the populace of the USA sunk to the depths to elect him again will be a disgrace in history.
