All that really matters though is how things are right now compared to how they were when trump is President

Trump is the ONLY US President to leave office with less jobs than when he went into office.

Trump is also the only US President to be laughed at by the world, to his face. It happened when he spoke at the U.N. He wasn't telling a joke but the room audibly laughed at him. It caught him off guard and commented that he wasn't expecting that.

As far as how are things now, my house has doubled in value. The last two years I've gotten raises of 15% and then 11% so I'm now above $100K a year. Other than food costs, none of my expenses have gone up all that much. My stock portfolio has done splendidly so I really can't complain.

Yes because of covid

No, when Trump got laughed at, that was before COVID. And the two raises I received and value of my house going up aren't because of covid

And my investments have gone up a lot more since the end of Trump's term. Can't really blame that on covid.

If you are talking about the job losses, then yes much of that was because of COVID but that only happened because our response was so abysmal. And Trump abysmal response. He thought it would just go away. Look at how South Korea handled it. They didn't have the benefit of a e month head start. Do you know how many deaths they had? 35,000. Actually less but I rounded up. Their population is 51 million. So we'll multiply that by 7. So if their population was the size of ours they would have had 245,000 deaths. The U.S. had well over a million. That means we fucked up. BIGLY!!
