Why is the American public not blaming Trump-era policies for inflation like they do Biden’s? #Trump #Biden #inflation
## Analyzing Policy Impacts on Inflation
### Why the Focus on Biden?
– Stimulus checks and PPP loans under Biden’s administration
– Public perception linking these actions to inflation
### Overlooking Trump Era Policies
– Massive debt left by Trump
– Inconsistency in public blame between administrations
## Seeking Understanding, Not Sides
### Genuine Inquiry
– Not a left vs right debate
– Curiosity about public perception and understanding
In a time of economic uncertainty, it’s important to evaluate all contributing factors to inflation. Let’s delve deeper into the nuances of policy impacts on our economy.
It’s almost a cult
Original poster. Allow me to answer your question with another question.
Why did you chant “400k deaths on Trump’s hands” during COVID but as soon as Biden became president(and it’s nearly 800k under him) suddenly you stopped talking about it and the “death clock” on CNN went away.
Could it be you were just using the suffering of others for political weapons and once it’s usefulness was gone, abandoned it?
Two Santa’s strategy.
Because nobody cares anymore. Politic isn’t about who really is responsible.
Trump didn’t really handout stimulus checks (I don’t know about the PPP loans), he essentially just put his name on it.
Because that’s how it works. If you don’t like the current President, blame everything on them. The more controversial the issue, the more traction it generates in the media and suddenly, it seems like “everyone” is blaming the President for whatever.
Those of us who were paying attention do
The problem is a lot of Americans are completely politically illiterate and only vote for whoever their one TV channel tells them to
It’s the classic political scapegoat routine. When things go south, it’s easy to forget the complexity of issues and the years it took for them to develop. Instead, everyone loves a quick fix: Point a finger at the person at the top. It’s a tale as old as time – or, at least, as old as the presidency – and it’s not going anywhere soon. Whether it’s fair or not, the President is both the face of hope and the embodiment of every frustration, rolled into one convenient target.
how do you know what the “american public” think? it seems half of them are well aware of these things already and the other half have been totally brainwashed by the media they watch
The man sitting behind the desk in the present is the man who gets the blame. A lot of times it’s not his fault. Sometimes it’s the fault of the guy 2 or 3 presidencies ago. But those motherfuckers are long gone so everything becomes this guys fault
It definitely did, but these measures also saved both the US and world economies. It did far more good than bad. Could it have been done better? Probably, but we’ve also never had to deal with a pandemic like that in modern times.
People blame Biden for political reasons. If it were Trumps second term now, people would be saying it was because of Obama’s policies previously.
The American public has a “my guy can do no wrong” disease. So when a voter shares a political party affiliation with a president or former president, you’ll notice they have every excuse lined up.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention what a disaster his 2017 Tax Cuts are to the middle class.
The idiots who dominate flooding social media are usually trump supporters.
They don’t have that many brain cells.
Otherwise they won’t support trump and think he will behold Christian family values
I may be wrong, but it was my understanding that much of the spending was done by Congress (don’t they technically have to authorize all spending anyway), which was Democratically controlled at the time and this spending only skyrocketed under Biden.
Sure, Trump might have increased our debt, but Biden has made it far, far worse with no end in sight.
People=dumb
Because people are stupid and just see that Biden is in charge.
It’s the same reason why voters blame him for their taxes going up and abortion being taken away.
the americans who are knowledge do but the people who would hold him accountable are to busy on their knees praying to the cheeto emperor to save them from the libs and biden.
Trump is literally the worst politician who tried to commit a coup, the only reason he isnt in prison is his support base have enough power to stop any real repercussions. His support base being the most scummy americans who hate poor people and minorities.
>Why doesn’t the American public
I’m gonna stop you right there, guy. 250 million voters. 250 million opinions. This question – as written – can’t be answered.
TBH, it feels like Biden is lucid enough that people get to have reasonable expectations of him and his program. Trump leans so hard into culture war bullshit, the discourse about his “policy” doesn’t really come close to discussing mundane issues such as inflation.
What makes you think we don’t? Everyone knows what Trump did. The thing is that some people like what he did.
