As our 2nd voyage into Trumpism continues, I have reflected on other Republican Presidents who have left office under bad conditions.
1. Trump 45 left in the middle of a COVID pandemic which he denied and had the economy spiraling into recession. Biden rescued us.
2. G.W. Bush and Cheney had run the economy close to recession with tax cuts and an immoral war. Both were very unpopular. Obama rescued us.
3. George HW Bush promised no taxes to address the Reagan-induced deficit. He raised taxes anyway was defeated and Clinton rescued the economy.
4. Ford pardoned Nixon for his many crimes, could not slow down inflation and lost his only election to Carter.
I have to wonder what is in store for the tariff guy.
