My question is not quite as blanket as that. My apologies....
Everything has a residual tied to it and everything has a different residual.
For example:
- Covid: Trump did a lot and (according to many) he did not do enough. When is what Biden is doing now given full credit? He says he inherited X, and he is trying to "fix that". It is what it is at this point... he was not in charge when they vaccine was passed, but he is responsible to get out to the public ASAP.
- Economy: Frankly, I think far far too much credit/blame is given to any president for the economy, but that said, Biden is inheriting a beast here that he will take a hit for; will he/can he be blamed for what is going to happen? we are going to ride on good feelings for the next 6 - 9 months as things return to "normal", then reality is going to set in and we are in for a few years of rough sledding at least.
- Immigration: JB is already seems to be taking hits for his actions. To me, he already owns this one 100%.
- This China stuff is a slippery slope too. Trump had a much different approach than this administration. Can JB blame Trump for fallout or does Joe own this one from the opening gate?
