its because they think the president just flips a magic switch right when they hit office. They don't realize policy takes time and rebups continuously sabotage shit on their way out of office.
i thought the president had a gas price knob on their desk
I recently saw a video about how much better the economy was under Trump and it totally glossed over the fact that Trump was riding off of Obama's presidency and the reason why it's so bad under Biden is cuz he's been having to clean up after Trump.
Voters have the memories of a fucking goldfish.
My favorite argument regards pandemic gas prices under Trump.

That was great! Maybe we should look at ways of decreasing gas consumption.
"SOCIALIST PINKO COMMIE!"
well he does, he's just not allowed to touch until he's republican and in last year of his term
Trump's Republican Congress set lowered taxes to expire for the next, presumptive Democrat, administration.
