Literally the other way around bro, biden didn’t crash the economy, it happened bc covid (during trump, but not trumps fault bc covid was an unprecedented event) he just did a shit job at fixing it because everyone around the world was doing a shit job and he had dementia. Then when things finally stopped rising (not going down but did stop rising) trump got elected and panicked everyone with his tariffs and immediately caused another mini crash not even a full month into office

When you have a president actively fighting the WHO and downplaying its effects, you create an entire sub population of bafoons who don’t want to vax, don’t want to mask, and want to continue on with life as if there’s not a new virus. It spreads easier and faster as a result, leading to more economic downturn. Not a hard concept for most people.

No, he didn’t. It’s a disease. It happened, and trump didn’t change anything. Biden on the other hand took out a loan the country couldn’t afford and gave it to people who weren’t willing to save it. All that inflation you’re worried about can be factually traced back to the stimulus checks

Just because you can point to a problem, doesn’t mean bidens actions made it better. The economy stagnated on paper because it stagnated physically. Biden made it move on paper, but didn’t change much for the consumer physically. That caused inflation. We should have taken the blow. Now everything is worse
