Trump promised elimination of the national DEBT - not deficit, the debt - in 8 years.
Instead, he added to the deficit every year.
Biden so far has lowered the deficit - granted, he is starting at a super high place due to COVID spending, so we’ll have to see what happens next year.
He didn’t do much except shepherd over a bouncing back economy.
But the fact remains, Trump promised to eliminate the DEBT in 8 years, and instead raised the deficit every year he was in office. Biden lowered the deficit in year 1.
Exactly…he is not responsible for the economy but don’t worry, his actions will be responsible going forward. A good example would be the price of a gallon of gas. What he inherited and his announcement on day one that he’d override Trump’s actions are what’s responsible. Brandon owns that and so do Brandonites.
Brandon will be responsible for the economy for approximately 18 months after he leaves office. There is a time lag between the actions of today and the results of those actions…tomorrow.
So Trump is responsible for inflation in 2021 and first half of 2022? It doesn’t seem like you are consistent in your application of the 18 month principle you stated above.
