One point I'm surprised isn't made more often: Trump inherited a functioning country when he took office in 2017.
His claimed successes are the result of Obama's 8 years in the presidency.
When Biden and Harris took office after Trump, they inherited a country and a government that was fractured in multiple ways.
So when Dana Bash asks about "people doing better under Trump" she's really asking about people benefitting from Obama era policies.

Here’s one that attempts to take “observations about things happening in the country” and turn it into “results of each candidate’s policy”.
Like, brah? Have you heard that the Federal Reserve is independent from the Executive Branch!?

Trump's Fed *wasn't* independent. He forced the Fed to keep interest rates low, at a time when that was hugely inadvisable. This, and his egregious mismanagement of COVID, caused the 2020 crash.
Trump, ever the liar, is blaming Harris for the consequences of his own actions.
And people believe him. God save us from our own gullibility.
