Trump inherited the Obama economy and benefited from the prevailing trends set by his predecessor; his supposedly great economic performance for the first three years actually slightly underperformed the Obama economy, and none of his attempted economic boosts worked. He did however manage to add another $2 trillion to the national debt courtesy of his tax cuts. Trump got lucky in the first three years of his presidency in that there were no major crises to deal with. But he ran out of luck in the last year when covid came along, and then the world got to see the gross incompetence and fecklessness that had always been there as the economy crashed and hundreds of thousands of Americans needlessly lost their lives as he fumbled, gaslighted and undermined health advice to the ongoing detriment of the country.
