If you think the fault for the current economy falls on Trump then you are more partisan than I thought. We had to shut-down the economy because of the pandemic, no President no matter how good was going to keep businesses from shutting down and keep money flowing through the economy.
I had to go buy a new dishwasher this weekend and let me tell you, supplies are severely depleted. No one has been making anything because everyone was on lock down. I didn't get to buy the first 2 choices I wanted because they were on back order until until July. Long story short, you can't have governors lock everyone in their homes and expect the economy to get chugging along. Even my line of work, once thought recession proof, hardware/software companies, suffered problems and me and 300 of my fellow co-workers lost our jobs at the end of March. Even during the econ crises of 2008-09 no one I knew in that industry was out of work for long, this time is different, way different and for different reasons.
