If you want to get into economics, Presidents have far less control over the global economy that they take credit for. Obama shows up on that grid twice, 08 right after he inherited a global recession and 12 when it was recovering. Economy of Trumps first two years followed the trend of Obama's last two years. Go back and look at Obama's 2012 numbers. The numbers on that chart have more to do with a global recession, massive federal stimulus to prevent a depression, a growing economy post stimulus, a pandemic triggered recession and the cost of stimulus to prevent a depression. Notice how I didn't use Trump or Obama's name once in that statement.
What Trump does get credit for his trade war with China and tax cuts. The trade war was supposed to bring jobs back to America, instead it increased our trade deficit, the opposite of what he promised. The budget deficit so high under him was partially due to the required stimulus from the pandemic, but also because he cut taxes lower the money coming in.
I'm not defending or praising Obama, my point is Trump is more sales salesman and politician taking credit for things he didn't do and ignoring his short falls than anything else.
Finally, conspiracy theories are based on some truth. So here are some true pictures of Trump, what conspiracy theories should we infer from them?
No I don't believe anything that could maybe possibly be true is. Do you?
