Trump didn't print $4T, the bi-partisan effort in Congress for COVID relief did.

I think the problem in voters eyes is that Biden did not stop after this. He pushed through multiple trillion dollar bills on top of it.

I'm not saying I agree with that stance, but calling the $4T Trump's doing is a really misleading. It was not part of his economic agenda at all.



> It was not part of his economic agenda at all.

Then why did he make the IRS reprint COVID relief checks so he could add his name to them?

I mean that is obvious right? It was self-promotion, one of the few things Trump is really good at. That doesn't mean it was in his economic agenda to pass trillions in debt funded covid relief or that he was even responsible for it.


Yep. It was probably the singular reason (of a few) he lost 2020.


Yeah Trumps spending was bipartisan but Biden unilaterally poured fuel on the fire after Covid.


Inflation is down prices aren't going to come down if we spend less.
