That’s not a curve, that’s tossing out a situation unavoidable by either man. Both were stupid, Trump for closing the economy and Biden for keeping it closed. I’m willing to give them both mulligans, along with pretty much every other world leader duped into believing Covid was much more serious than it actually was, and judge them both by their performance under normal circumstances, your willful ignorance notwithstanding.

It’s not how it starts it’s how it finishes. Trump finished badly. No president is guaranteed “normal” circumstances and if he handled the events during his presidency badly, which he did, then he is graded on that. He only gets a mulligan in your mind because a curve is the only way he looks to be a success.
Again. I don’t think anyone was better off in October 2020 compared to today. So yes, I am better off today than 4 years ago.
Also, with the rate of improvement of the economy, I can do with 4 more years of this, absolutely.
