Yet Trump is good, Biden is bad because when it really comes down to it, can any president impact the economy significantly since the purse strings are controlled by the congress? They can do a few trade deals and hope for the best or levy tariffs which mostly backfire. But they always get the credit or the blame.

In modern times.
Two presidents who impacted the economy significantly: FDR and Reagan.
Bill Clinton with his triangulation and globalization push ironically helped Reagan's agenda.
Surprisingly Trumps has been very consistent with his arguments from the time when Japan had heft. However as usual he is heavily influenced by showmanship.
Every now and then there arise a politician who has enough influence and presence to enact important legislations.
Kennedy was promising, Johnson was phenomenal for a limited time.
Biden admin got crushed by the affordability issue and unsympathetic attitude to the complaint of many...Why the f**k are you complaining, don't you know this is the best economy there is?
