    But: pouring money into the economy/printing like we have undoubtedly had some impact on inflation. But corporations also got greedy and the aforementioned Covid ripple effects crippled the world economy. And hell we did better than most.

    That is almost entirely on the FED. J Powell served as chairman under both presidents; and they were certainly printing money during Trump’s term as well. Also, trump was signing stimulus over hand and fist. Especially for “small” (but not really small at all) businesses.
