Trump inheritated strong economy after 8 years of Obama presidency.
Biden arrived during the world wide Covid pandemic and worlwide inflation.
If you compare the two President, take into account facts !
Not simplistic opinions.
Biden came into office as the stimulus-induced COVID recovery was picking up steam, which is a big reason Biden’s employment and GDP numbers are strong. But all that stimulus, combined with COVID-related distortions such as wrecked supply chains and a surge in demand for goods, pushed inflation to 9% in 2022, the highest level since 1981. Should Biden get credit for all those new jobs? Or should Congress and the Fed? And if you credit Biden with strong job growth, shouldn't you also blame him for inflation? Or vice versa?
To put it another way, if Biden were president when COVID hit, the recession-stimulus-recovery cycle would probably have been very similar to what Trump oversaw. And if Trump began a second term in 2021, he probably would have faced the same paradox as Biden: record job growth but unnervingly high inflation. Presidential candidates exaggerate their powers and voters sometimes believe them, but presidents alone don’t do a lot to move the economy one way or another.
