While there's some obvious impact from the US dollar it's not the primary cause of the rest of the world's inflation. Almost every first world country engaged in fiscal responses during COVID, you may agree or disagree with the responses but the majority of them can be better correlated with the rise in inflation.
I'm not here to say Biden good Trump bad, the fact is regardless of leadership there would have been fiscal responses that lead to inflation.
There isn't some merical leader that would have sought the best line of action that everyone missed during that time period.
i have to laugh when people think some perfect leader could have threaded the needle and steered us through the storm with far more grace.
-keep everything open, no lockdowns
-make old people stay inside, but not by law, just convince them in millions
-no masks, TYRANNY
-no money printing, let businesses fail if need be, muh free market!
-J&J vaccine only, any maybe not that, tis just a flu afterall
-much success, merica wins
many mistakes were made but holy fuck none of that would have ever worked.
