Trump’s election promises weren’t only meaningless because they were almost certainly bullshit (referring of course here to the academic definition of such), but also because the Biden administration has already done a lot of them.

Kevin Drum provides the facts and figures to show that in the US:

  • Inflation is already down
  • Illegal immigration is down
  • The economy, as measured by GDP, is already strong.
  • Imports from China are down
  • Interest rates are falling
  • Oil and gas production is at the highest level in US history
  • Crime is already low, and the murder rate is fallen further.

There’s really not much left for Trump to do. All he has to do is not bollix things up.
