What goes unmentioned is the role he and his administration played in producing historic change in the mideast with the raproachmont among several Arab states and Israel. Matt also, maybe because he is predisposed to not trust the private sector, failed to mention the booming Trump economy pre-Covid, which was partially attributable to deregulation, tax policy and favorability to the energy industry. The last was not only good for the economy but changed the international landscape with our being a net exporter of hydrocarbons and not at the mercy of countries not necessarily favorably disposed to us. His new judges will have a lasting impact on jurisprudence and particularly with regard to an overweening administrative state. Finally the economic growth improved the incomes of the lowest quintiles at a higher percentage than those above in contrast to the Obama years where improvement was experienced virtually only in the highest decile.
