Same with the stimmies. His dumb-ass idea of literal helicopter money gave us all 4 years of demand-side price increases and destroyed the logistics chains, by pulling consumer demand forward during a lockdown. Not to mention, the way he brow-beat the Fed into keeping interest rates artificially low. Everyone blames Powell, but Trump is the money printer guy, not Powell.

We are still paying inflated prices for everything, and now production and warehouses are overcapacity, and we're getting layoffs and plant/store closures.

Excellent timing, that he will be President, during the Depression. LOL He'll probably memory-hole all the mess he made and point at Biden. People are dumb.

I definitely believe Trump is better than Biden, but that doesn't mean he hasn't made a number of big mistakes. The fact that his ego doesn't let him admit his mistakes is a big problem. Everyone makes mistakes, but the wise people admit their mistakes, learn from them, and do better. Trump does seem to be doing some things better, but he still won't admit he made mistakes.

He does Big Man politics, where it's about being a tribal leader, not a thought leader. Tribal leaders are never wrong because their status comes from their claims to supernatural powers and their willingness to give preferance to loyal members of their tribe.

They don't call him the God King or the God Emperor, for nothing.
