Does nostalgia favor Trump? [View all]

People remember the Trump presidency as a success, but rate Biden lower. As the article points out, we tend to remember the good and forget the bad. So Trump's inept handling of the covid pandemic seems not so bad now that covid is fading. I think it simply illustrates that Americans pay no attention to much of anything.
