Others have addressed the key points here quite well. But I'd like to address two less important points:

Kevin, how can someone who objects to "rude prejudice" champion
Donald Trump, of all people?
Your double standard here is ludicrous. I'm sorry to have to say so, but it is.
Listen to yourself.

Kevin, do you understand that "the economy" is not the same thing as "the stock market"?
Do you understand that small business owners, unemployed people, and people who have taken pay cuts in order to stay employed are NOT enjoying the "good economy" of which you speak?
Yes, the stock market is doing well. That's fantastic for people who have the means to invest in the stock market. Not so fantastic for these people:
Those are
initial claims. Many of the people who made claims in April, May, June, July, and August are
still unemployed, or have since taken jobs for much lower pay, or are people (mostly women) whose increased family obligations during the extended pandemic--extended thanks to Trump's ineffectiveness in that regard--have pushed them out of the workforce, and have kept them there.
Other signs that "the economy" is not so rosy as you claim:
A Running List of San Diego Restaurants That Have Permanently Closed Since the Coronavirus Crisis
A majority of young adults in the U.S. live with their parents for the first time since the Great Depression
In conclusion, it is inaccurate to say that Donald Trump's policies--and particularly his failure to discourage idiots from spreading the coronavirus--have been good for "the economy."
I will agree that Donald Trump has been very, very good for wealthy people. However, I fail to understand why people who are not wealthy--and who are
significantly worse off financially than they were four years ago--should be expected to celebrate what Trump's "economy" is doing for someone else, while they are suffering themselves.
