There were multiple rounds of stimulus checks, the first round of those came under Trump, no?
Because the COVID situation got so bad, the powers that be decided to avoid a massive recession and loss of 40 million jobs, the government had to print money.

Well a fair assessment would be BOTH Presidents borrowed too much. Trump did massive tax cuts when they weren't really needed, he wanted 6% GDP growth (too high). The huge corp. tax cut spiked the markets giving the wealthy and upper middle class bigger portfolios.

Companies are having to pay $$$ to get workers right now. Is it Biden's fault that there's a shortage of workers??

Yep, and Sleepy Joe extended it which wasn’t needed…and let’s not forget the ridiculous amount of money he’s giving out per kid.

Yep, because he’s paid a ridiculous amount of money to folks to stay home and he’s still doing it.

But please do keep obsessing about because Trump as Dems approval ratings continue to plummet and the red wave is coming, lol.

The GOP has been radicalized, the country further divided. Trump allows no dissent, it's all about loyalty to Trump and consolidating power. If you speak out against him he will primary you- it doesn't always work but usually it's enough to silence his critics. It worked for Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

All it says to me is that it shows these people's true character. Mostly hollow self-serving hacks. The only ones I respect are Kinzinger CHeney and Romney.

50 years the whole GOP would have convicted him in the first year after the impeachment. He would have been impeached by his own party.
Yes, loyalty to Trump instead of our country. I just don't understand that.

Sure but they've been replaced by the Proud Boys and 100 other groups that think the same.

Actually inflation had been going up before Ford. Remember Nixxon's wage and price controls?

Because Trump wields tremendous political power because of all the MAGA folks he brings out. The "old" GOP which consisted of people like McCain, Dole, Colin Powell, the Bushes, Kasich etc is gone.

WHat is there to understand...?? Look at Rubio and Cruz... Senators make millions by being Senators and getting re-elected. You can't publicly go against Trump and win in Florida or other MAGA strongholds.

The GOP should have rid themselves of Trump by impeaching him, then a much more sane Mike Pence would have assumed office.

Lol. Not even close to Antifa, BLM, etc…, but keep deflecting as crime skyrockets, cities get turned into cesspools, etc… Folks have had enough of the nonsense and the more it goes on the more approval ratings plummet. Keep up the good work because y’all gonna lose if you keep obsessing versus cleaning up Sleepy Joes yard.
