Summary

President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Biden’s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    And people with exactly that mindset voted for Trump, despite his vowing to make everything worse with every single policy stance.

    • Raise your taxes while cutting for the Rich (AGAIN)

    • Tariffing many sectors and countries, making goods more expensive and destroying US manufacturing

        Actually no, Trump deported and convicted less than Obama and Biden. Trump’s removal of holding time limitations for women and children and his removal of ICE’s criminal only focus meant resources were used up and almost always wasted.

        Trump is ineffective at everything he claims to be good for.

          Are we talking about what he did last time or what he said he’s going to do this time?

            His plans supposedly haven’t changed, just a repeat of last time but more and worse.

            He even already tried to overturn the election once before when he sent 84 fake electors to 7 states in 2020.

            He has repeatedly told us he is going to do everything he did before, again.
