"We inherited a mess..." [View all]
How many Trump sycophants have you heard say those words? Usually it is in front of the press and they are never questioned about it?
Seems that I recall that Joe Biden inherited more of a "mess" than did Donald Trump? We were just coming out of the worst of the COVID and Joe Biden was able to get the vaccine, created by Trump's administration, out to millions and millions of Americans. The stock market had started to recover. It almost crashed. People were working from their homes and Biden and the Democrats mostly, were able to pass a lot of legislation. Joe Biden was not left with the best of two worlds.
But there was a price for trying to get the economy back on track, with cash subsidies to individuals and small businesses. It is called inflation. It is still with us to a nagging degree even today.
But, it just seems wrong to talk about "the mess they inherited" when they expect people to forget what Joe Biden inherited.
Obviously, a lot of people did "forget". They voted for Trump again in 2024.
One of the pitfalls of democracy, I suppose?
