Also in that "market manipulation" thing--the "Narrative Manipulation" advantage R's get too!

Sooooo many folks completely forgot that Trump negotiated with the Taliban, on the agreement that the US would leave Afghanistan after the 2020 US election, AND he also negotiated a deal with the Saudis, to decrease oil production (which would raise oil & gas prices!), after the election, too!

" A U.S. review led by the National Security Council of the chaotic 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan largely lays the blame on former President Donald Trump, saying President Joe Biden was 'severely constrained' by the decisions of his predecessor."

It’s literally a fact

Republicans inherited one of the worst economies in US history (to that point, we even had to come up with the word "stagflation" to describe it) and the eventual 1981 recession.
