It’s more than 4 years. We just crawled out of Trump inflation and now are going right back in.

Dismantling and breaking is easy. They can do a lot of that in 4 yrs. Building takes decades.

There’s also a global effect. Would Putin have ever attacked Ukraine without a Trump term? How about Israel’s taking self defense into genocide territory?

America leads by example and the last example was an impulsive 3 yo with a giant military force and a dead diplomacy department in the executive branch. There’s permissiveness in that.
