All he had to do was focus on social policy while taking credit for the great economy while doing some minor tweaks. Instead, he decided to destroy the value of the dollar and crush US manufacturing while pretending to “save it.”

This is a shortsighted version of the past 4-5 years. I think most people, aside from the millions of illegals ushered in by the Biden admin, would strongly favor Jan 2019 over Jan 2025. Trump did not inherit a "great" economy in any way.

January 2019
Pre pandemic
No one lost their job because they refused an experimental therapeutic
Our national debt wasn't at $36 trillion
Stock market was at an all time high
Manufacturing on the rise
Median wages on the rise
Unemployment under 4%
No botched withdrawal from Afghanistan
Russia wasn't invading Ukraine
Didn't see anything close to 8% inflation
30 year mortgage rates around 3%

Sounds like policies in place worked well. Too bad he has done a complete 180 and tanked the economy

We've already been through this 100 times, Trump by most metrics was the second worse president post-Reagan for the economy lol.

Literally nothing you just posted is any defense of what Trump is doing right now and how it’s categorically stupid and ineffective in all of its stated goals.

No one lost their job because they refused an experimental therapeutic - Trump literally was the one who championed the release of the vaccine. Now, knuckle draggers can't give him the credit he deserves for this.
Our national debt wasn't at $36 trillion - Debt was lowering under Obama than Trump? GWB had lower debt than Obama? See how this works?
Stock market was at an all time high - It was higher under Biden?
Manufacturing on the rise - Manufacturing rose higher and reached a higher peak under Biden than Trump??
Median wages on the rise - Do you mean real median wages?
Unemployment under 4% - Nice, it hit 3.4% under Biden, which is lower than Trump.
No botched withdrawal from Afghanistan - This relates to the economy....how?
Russia wasn't invading Ukraine - This is categorically false lol.
Didn't see anything close to 8% inflation - This would be really bad if you had a grade school level of understanding economics. Do you understand why inflation was so high, and if so, can you point to why the inflation was Biden's fault?
30 year mortgage rates around 3% - Did you believe that the mortgage rates were going to remain around 3%? What fundamentals did Trump maintain that were screwed up by Biden to make rates jump so much? Do you know who nominated the current head of the Fed?

I swear if Amuse or InsurrectionBarbie did a quick tweet of basic economics people would be so much better off for it lol.
