Sigh.... so initially in Obama's first term, he actually had a down growth due to the recession created by GWB and implemented policies which prompted a reversal to upward trend of the economy. Trump inherited a prosperous economy and basically trashed it because of his mismanagement of COVID. There were plenty of resources that Obama set up to handle pandemics that were reversed by the Trump administration. Am I the only one here that thinks this way ..... ?
By mismanagement of COVID affecting the economy, are you implying that lockdowns caused this? Unfortunately, these lockdowns are not handled on the federal level and fall into the domain of the state. The areas with stricter, longer term lockdowns (mostly democrat stronghold cities/states) are seeing this. So you can't place the blame on Trump since it's handled on a state level.
