I think some of you are overstating the political brilliance of Trump putting his name on too-small stimulus checks that are gonna arrive late, or be direct deposited and possibly clawed back by banks, and be insufficient to sustain people through worsening economic conditions.
If the economy recovers in time, Trump may get a lot of credit. If it doesn’t, whatever measures he pursued are likely to seem insufficient. Idk what will happen in November but people know who the incumbent is and crude branding isn’t gonna make much of a difference.
Not saying this will be Trump's fate, but Hoover spent the latter days of 1932 fuming that Americans weren't more grateful for all he had done and lamenting that they didn't understand economics and freedom as well as he did
Either things will be looking up in Nov and Trump will benefit, or they won't and it'll hurt his chances. He may win or lose despite either condition, but the state of the economy will most likely determine whether he's "done enough," not putting his name on things.
