My vote, my problem.
Life and money was extremely prosperous under because Trump. Anyone that couldn’t live life and make great money under because Trump will most never be able to.

What did because Trump shut down, and please be specific?

What Republican Governors shut down their states like PA, NY, California, etc…?

What do you think is driving inflation? Outrageous government spending and giveaways? Supply chain issues? Check, check

Gas prices? US Oil production and exports in the US have grown under Biden. Suppose we could have sided with Russia for some cheap gas?

Afghanistan. Trump explicitly took credit for that saying that Biden would be unable to stop it and that their government would collapse as soon as we left.

I don't blame Trump. The decision to shutdown was the right one under the circumstances. Just need to stop blaming Biden (and claiming he shut down the country) for problems that are rooted in the early reactions to the pandemic and are global and not specific to the US.

While true, it still had nothing to do with Trump; these were state and local politicians using and abusing emergency powers acts.

I didn't vote for either candidate, but most I know that went Dem now regret the decision.

Well, in my case it wasn't that great for me. I spent 20-21 months of the Trump administration unemployed or underemployed. I was laid off from two different jobs. 2019- now, I'm doing better. However, I don't see many benefits I had with Trump in office. I'm not blaming Trump for the job woes I had. I am saying that whatever benefits anyone else had, I shared in very little of it for much of that time. I asked myself this question: What did I, not anyone else, but what benefits did I get? Did my life get better? If my life didn't get better, then I have to live with that. Not the rest of America.

Based on guidance coming out of the Trump admin.

So Jorgensen did nothing, and because Trump being in charge and you having an issue with employment was on you since you say you don’t blame because Trump for it. Got it.

I'm saying I don't see where I benefited from Trump being in office. When you get laid off, that isn't the same as being fired or quitting. That's beyond your control.
And no, I'm not blaming Trump for me being laid off. I'm saying if Trump being in office was supposed to make my life better, that didn't happen. This is why I look out for me first when I vote. What I have, I get despite who is in office, not because of.
