    He was handed the reigns of the pretty stable and steady Obama-era economy and by the time he left the US economy was in fair shambles.

    Which was, of course, significantly caused by a certain global pandemic that he outrageously mismanaged.

    Hard to say what would’ve happened absent COVID. There’s plenty of precedent of the cycle of neoliberal Democrats getting the economy all roasty toasty then losing an election to a Republican who immediately puts out huge tax cuts for the extremely rich that is followed quickly by some kind of financial crash.

      There is an argument that the Trump Administration was the cause of the global pandemic by recklessly dismantling healthcare watch teams in China and not acting to close U.S. borders when the outbreak occurred.

        I don’t agree that he caused it, but much like Russian election interference, his choices and actions were nearly indistinguishable from ones a pro-COVID death cult leader would have made.

        Cause is a strong word. But certainly exacerbated.
