    I mean you can easily flip those things.

    America recovered faster and stronger from Covid than pretty much every other nation (without a recession), he’s the president who was finally able to get us out of Afghanistan (something the past two president’s tried and failed to do), and the infrastructure bill has been seen as a success I thought from most perspectives.

    Not saying this is the right way to look at these events, but just that historians won’t be tied to knee jerk reactions. However, like most president’s I think opinions about Biden will largely be defined by what his actions led to down the road more than his impact during his presidency. What happens with Trump and onward will have an outsized impact on how Biden is written about in the history books.

      The problem with the Infrastructure Bill is the results are too far out. By the time any of them are completed, Trump will have claimed credit for them.
