Something like 40% of Republicans believed Obama was 'responsible' for 9/11 in 2015/16

There is a lag between policy and results, I don't think you can fairly say that because it's happening NOW it's biden's doing (though i'll give credit to Biden for now ending the changes Trump enacted). But Trump should get credit for completely reorienting our trade policy.

I give Trump credit for approving the American departure from Afghanistan. Even with how that was executed, the current state of Americans not being there is a good thing caused by his past decision.

In 2016-2020 the economy was good, jobs were plentiful and there was mostly peace. Then the Democrats mismanaged COVID and the Munich peace conference in 2022, then doubled down and sent Pelosi to stir up the pot in Taiwan.

Now we have cold or hot war everywhere, and a TSMC plant is built for election purposes.

Trump absolutely started the U.S. manufacturing drive, sometimes he does not push things through. Still, the world would be in a much better shape had he been elected in 2020.

Biden, Democrats and the moderate Republicans that came together to support this deserve the credit here. It's game changing stuff, a big chunk of which could be on the chopping block if the extreme takes power again.
