Trump put more real dollars in American pockets during his first three years in office, than had been done in decades.
I thought he was president for four years??
(and no, no, no, it is not possible to erase the last year and blame it on COVID. A person is either President or not, and what happens as president you have to take responsibility for it, you cannot only take things that work in your favor. It would be the same if ignoring the first X months of inflation under President Biden because it was created by President Trump. If that is the case, President Biden has done a great job in reducing inflation.)

President Trump beginning of term vs end of term
Summary
The statistics for the entirety of Donald Trump’s time in office are nearly all compiled. As we did for his predecessor four years ago, we present a final look at the numbers.
The economy lost 2.9 million jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.
Paychecks grew faster than inflation. Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 8.7% after inflation.
After-tax corporate profits went up, and the stock market set new records. The S&P 500 index rose 67.8%.
The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The U.S. trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 40.5% from 2016.
The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4 trillion to $21.6 trillion.
Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.
Illegal immigration increased. Apprehensions at the Southwest border rose 14.7% last year compared with 2016.
Coal production declined 26.5%, and coal-mining jobs dropped by 16.7%. Carbon emissions from energy consumption dropped 11.5%.
Handgun production rose 12.5% last year compared with 2016, setting a new record.
The murder rate last year rose to the highest level since 1997.
Trump filled one-third of the Supreme Court, nearly 30% of the appellate court seats and a quarter of District Court seats.

Agree 100%. But..... if you (as president) are going to claim credit for things that occured during your term which had little to do with your policies, then you have to take the blame for things also.
The same arguement could be said that the foundation of the economic problems were in place when President Biden became president are resulting in the economic problems we are having now.

I reject your argument.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
