Yeah I mean people/media also said Obama left Trump with a big mess.

Who said that? OAN?

Exactly. It's what every incoming President does. It's a way of trying to lower expectations. Democrats said that Bush left Obama a complete mess (remember the financial crisis?). Republicans said that Obama left Trump a mess (Trump himself said it repeatedly for like 2 years). Now the Biden administration is going blame the Trump administration.

It's standard operating procedure.

Trump did. Repeatedly. Not sure if any news outlets did, though. Unless they were just quoting him.

I certainly don't think CNN et al. gave that story much airtime.

Your Boogie Man Trump can't hurt you anymore, little boy.
Performative

MOR, what's with the name calling? Certainly we can have discussions about issues without that.
Reserve the name calling for the politicians we don't like.

Every time sleepy Joe steps on his dick or fails to deliver on his promises, this is what we'll get.

69% of Americans support his covid response after 5 days. Good start. trump had his head in the sand for 11 months. "Hoax".
Guess you ain't one of them.

Hah!

Regarding the great divide in our country, this is a lengthy article with a lot of research citing into where we find ourselves today.
Would recommend it if you have a few extra minutes. Especially with the emphasis on how difficult it will be to bridge the divide and the history driving our problems.

This is completely asinine but not surprising considering the source. What exactly has he done in 5 days that would illicit such a positive response, besides not being Donald Trump? I can't believe you actually think that a favorability score after a whopping 5 days in office has any real validity. I am no fan of our early response to the pandemic, so I'm not sure where you got that from but keep being you Bobbie.

Not being Donald Trump was pretty much the entire platform that he ran on.
