    It comes to perception. Those who love Trump will say the economy is doing great, regardless of what the actual numbers say. Those who hate Trump will claim the opposite.

    Oil production is a perfect case. Domestic production is 20(?)% higher than at the end of Trump's term, US is a net exporter, yet the complaint is that Biden did not do enough.

      Real people don't read statistics about oil production, they look at the price on the gas pump or what their heating fuel bill is.

      Seems to work as a general barometer.

        That’s why they’ll be so pleased when he keeps his promise and brings gas prices under $2.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          Well, Iran is dumping oil on the world market and I did pay $2.38 this last week.

          Maybe after inauguration, we'll get there.

            The idea that really low oil prices is a good thing overall is very naive.

            I was only joking

                    So, if gas prices are the same or increase a year from now, detractors of President Trump will say that he is the cause, and those who support him will come up with reasons why the prices rose in spite of his good work.

                        Nope. LOL

                        i know you are going to say I sound like a dead horse, but presidents take too much credit and get too much blame, especially when look at their terms in a "finite" four year period.

                        Who is getting the blame for the 2022/2023 inflation? President Biden. Did President Trump have a significant impact on that? Yes. Does he get the blame? In the thoughts of most Americans, not really.
