Do you mean the withdrawal from Afghanistan? Not Iraq? Handling of COVID-19? Trump was in charge of that through the entire first year. Almost all lockdowns and stimulus happened under trump. The border isn't in shambles it's just a republican talking point because they're scared that white people are having less babies.
Inflation and the economy overall has nothing to do with either administration and everything to do with capitalism. There is always a boom and bust cycle in capitalism. Covid allowed corporations to line the shit out of their pockets, through the government, and because of that things are getting very very tight for the working class. Soon we'll have a huge crash which will allow the capitalists to buy up our assets like it's a fire sale. This is how capitalism has always worked

Yes I meant Afghanistan, I was reading about Iraq at the time of writing the post, honest mistake.

Who said I agree with this? I don't agree of much of the handling of covid of the trump administration either, but that is not the only mishandling of the pandemic, most of the pandemic has been under Biden thus far. Trump never supported lockdowns either, so even IF that statement is true what was essentially done is trump left it to the states to decide, and did not nationally recommend them. Nor did he push for private companies to enforce vaccine rules even though he is pro vaccine.
I don't agree with your capitalism statement, lets just leave it at that.
>The border isn't in shambles
This is a false statement, you can look it up

You don't agree with the boom and bust cycle of capitalism? It's indisputable. That's why there's a crash roughly every ten years. It has to happen for capitalism to continue to function. That's not a politically motivated observation at all just the simple truth. As you would say, you can look it up
Edit From investopedia, "The boom and bust cycle is a process of economic expansion and contraction that occurs repeatedly. The boom and bust cycle is a key characteristic of capitalist economies and is sometimes synonymous with the business cycle.
During the boom the economy grows, jobs are plentiful and the market brings high returns to investors. In the subsequent bust the economy shrinks, people lose their jobs and investors lose money. Boom-bust cycles last for varying lengths of time; they also vary in severity."
