The dollar generally went further than the four years after he left office and that was his entire campaign selling point for the vast majority of Americans. “Remember when things were affordable right before the pandemic? And then Joe Biden took office and things were more expensive?”
But obviously the affordability of day to day life had very little to do with Biden’s policy and more to do with global trajectory and many of Biden’s policies did slow the approach to today’s economy. And Trump really just strapped a rocket engine to the economy in the direction of late stage capitalism once he was back in office.

You’re correct to blame Trump, but Biden also could have done more to ensure Americans standard of living didn’t fall. We needed a “Green New Deal” but that was cut back to “build back better” which was cut back again by Manchin and Sinema.
Trump won as soon as Biden gave into the demands of conservative democrats.
