Trump could have just taken credit for Biden's economy [View all]

It would have been easy. And we know he's lazy. It would have involved lying, but since when has he cared about that? And we know the corporate media would have let him get away with it, just as they let him slam Biden's economic record during the election.

So why didn't he? Well, my take is that he doesn't care about his place in history or what voters think of him. Taking credit for Biden's economy might fuel his need for recognition and dishonesty, but beyond that what would he get out of it?

He wants something else. And it is not to bring back manufacturing to the US, which would take years if not decades and the kind of careful planning he is incapable of.

What is it he is after?
