People have selective memory

Under Trump the economy seemed to be doing well, wages were up, inflation a nonissue, unemployment down,

Economy was doing good until mid 2018 when sugar rush of cut taxes for corporations run out and stick market was crashing. Those same people (trump supporters) were saying that we are due for recession.

The tax bill was the first major change that affected economy, I actually lost job by end of 2018, because outsourcing became more beneficial with the new tax bill. By end of 2018 all 401k earnings since beginning of 2018 were wiped.

2019 continued to have crashes and also started having supply issues (this was before covid)

illegal immigration wasn’t often in the news,

Like a clockwork, the caravans always seem to form during campaign season for some reason.

no war in Ukraine or Israel,

The thing is that despite what right wing media is spewing those aren’t our ways, our military is not involved. We are providing support.

Afghanistan had not collapsed,

Well this is something trump started and negotiated with Taliban (can you imagine he invited them to Camp Davis?). What outcome was expected when US negotiated withdrawal behind Afghanistan’s government back?

abortion was a nonissue, etc.

I don’t think this particular thing is helping trump.
