Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one, and some stink.
Like, if the current administration came in and made some well-founded but ultimately ill fated adjustments in a good faith effort to improve the economic standing of the average American and yet still things went south, I could see there being a lot more leniency coming from the citizens about causes and blame and all that useless nonsense.
But the fact is, that’s not what happened. Whether or not you agree the pre-Trump economy was problematic or stable or improving, the fact is, Trump and his administration literally took a chainsaw and indiscriminately fucked shit up in a self-serving, indiscriminate, poorly planned, and uncoordinated fashion in such a quick manner that it left nobody outside of the inner circle in a position to prepare or adjust. This is what has weakened the economy, jobs, and the financial strength of the middle class and below.
Almost any other administration in my living memory and you could make a reasonable argument that at least some of the first year economic woes are the responsibility of the prior administration, but because of the reckless nature that things were carried out, Trump and his team have earned full responsibility for everything bad. They’ve fucked shit up so much that even if the Biden administration could be blamed, how could you tell?
Maybe there was already a dent in the driver’s side door panel when Trump took over, but given that the car was driven into a tree and then set on fire, how could you tell and would it really have made a difference either way?
