I can't believe Trump has been sentenced in record time. However, Biden and son are totally free laughing in americans' face.

This is what analysts call the "latinoamericanization" of the US. It's really sad, imfao.

The events of Wuhan could've just as easily happened in 2016 or 2024. That's just how the ball bounces, I guess.
I see, so the economy is not his fault, what about GROSS FAILURE in managing Covid, is a million dead his fault.

That would be a good campaign slogan, "Vote Trump, it's not his fault".

What "gross failure"? We were on par with other Western countries in per capita terms. Plus, the US has a federated government (50 powerful states, each of which responded to the pandemic on their own terms) and a very strong cultural reluctance to compromise on individual liberty.

"Vote Trump, it's not his fault".
"Vote Trump. He is a very innocent man."

Had unemployment stayed at 3.4 then maybe. But it didn't. Trump had a fair excuse why it didn't stay at 3.5, whereas Biden doesn't for his 3.4.
Another ridiculous statement

Nonetheless, he was a Republican president who made the executive branch's policies lean right instead of left. 
Yes he did, and you can defer to that all you want as a reason to vote for him, but it is not an argument for why anyone who isn’t already part of the Republican base to vote for him. So far we’re in agreement.

And until Covid, which was outside of everyone's control and caught the whole Western world unprepared
Why does Trump get a pass for everything that happened as a result of Covid, but Biden who was tasked with cleaning up its mess does not? Why does Trump’s term economically not include December 2020 but Biden is responsible for what happens in January 2021?

Putin didn't do diddly-squat when Trump was in office.
And seriously, why do you think that was?

I mean, Biden supporters routinely brag about his numbers. Why can't we do the same?
Biden supporters brag about it because it’s all we’ve heard sent for the past 7 years. When Obama was president, no matter how good things were getting every time he would say anything remotely good about the economy he would get blasted by both sides for being insensitive to those who were still struggling. Then Trump comes along bragging about having the greatest economy in the history of economies and no one gives a damn. The double standard is absurd so democrats got tired of it.

Also, that's not true. Perhaps Trump inherited a good economy from Obama and simply didn't screw it up. But he also oversaw the fastest economic recovery in US history.
What are you talking about? Trump inherited an economy that had been growing for seven straight years. There was nothing to recover.

Fair enough.

I could ask you the same. Why, in your world, did Trump have zilch to do with the good economy he presided over pre-Covid but also the sole culprit at whose feet lies all of the blame for the global pandemic and subsequent downturn in 2020? And again, why does he get zero credit for the economy going from Mad Max-style hellscape to April 2014 in nine months?
Why is Biden a miracle worker for unemployment dropping 3 points in 2 years, and then the slow upward trend we've seen post-January 2023 gets ignored?

And seriously, why do you think that was?
Because he was a Republican, whose party has a historical track record for being very hawkish. But I take it that's not how you would answer, so let me ask you a question.

Suppose you're Putin. You know that, for a limited window of time, you have a guy in the White House who is favorable to you and might look the other way as you invade Ukraine. He's unlikely to get a second term, since he just barely squeaked out a win the first time. What conceivable reason would you have for not taking advantage while you could? Why wait until he left office to invade Ukraine?

I think we both know the answer to this question.

Biden supporters brag about it because it’s all we’ve heard sent for the past 7 years...The double standard is absurd so democrats got tired of it.
In late 2019, I was sitting in my car one evening, about to get out and run some laps in my local park.
I was on my phone, browsing the web, when I came across an article from a liberal outlet (I don't remember which). The gist of the article was this:

"Sure, technically the economy is doing well right now under Trump, but why does it feel like the economy sucks?"

If the economy isn't perfect under Republican leadership, liberal journalists will crow about it. And if it nearly is, they'll opine that it's faring poorly in some vague spiritual sense. Which is to say, this is a two-way street. We are all partisan hacks, whether we want to admit it or not, and none of us want to give credit for the other guy's achievements. Republicans aren't more guilty of this than Democrats.
