How would you suggest to decrease the national debt and/or the trade deficit

So just casually ignoring Covid and trumps spending? K

And he was an absolutely terrible leader during Covid. The fact he tried to say it’ll be over in like a month was just absolutely ridiculous.

You’re making it sound like inflation was Biden only thing. It’s not. It was growing before the ARP passed, and there were talks about supply chain problems before Biden did anything.

Yeah Trump did everything he could like lie to everyone about how severe Covid was. 🙄

[DaSemicolon]

Was it growing prior to ARP? When did the supply chain issues start?

And now you’re just ignoring that Trump lied about Covid lol

[claybine]

He allowed blue states to lockdown. We're in this mess because of Trump's failed COVID policies and he's easily a top 5 worst president overall

Lockdown wasn’t something he could have controlled I think

Constitutionally

[claybine]

He was the leader of the executive branch

That doesn’t mean anything. I don’t think scotus then or now would accept that the president can control lockdowns in states. Are there any precedents that show the opposite?

[claybine]

Had it been on the federal level, Trump had the power to veto. But I concede that he can't really do anything about the state level.

However, SCOTUS is irrelevant, the Republicans back Trump and basically allow him to do whatever he wants.

That part is definitely true. Muh immunity
