If Trump were POTUS instead would we have had a booming early 00s retail scene?

When we had both Bush's it was a major push to globalists feeding fuel to the globalists vs communists where the left protected. HOWEVER at the same time the retail scene felt secured under both Bush's so had major booms and what I think expanded way too much buildings and didn't watch the hen house door so paid the price each time we had liberals in charge making things slow down:

Trump seemed to do things all other President's were afraid to do mainly stand up to China (a dollar short and a day late) as by that time the middle class was mainly wiped out by Obama hence all the retail stores closing under Trump.

'm guessing and I think I heard once most got protection money if they voted Democrat so were propped up all along when they should've been failing when Trump came those props were suddenly stopped so we started seeing large swaths of closures where it seemed all these YT videos of 'Retail this or retail that' failure kept coming up which is funny because a booming economy you are suppose to get NEW stores replacing bad ones.

This was the time for malls and retail scenes to show their creative edge instead they did the same stupid stuff which only gave the globalist corporations more power to screw Trump in 2020.
Now my question is if Trump had continued his legacy would we see a return of the American Retail Sector or would it all have gone overseas to global companies that don't give a damn and kiss up to China?

Do you think Trump is part of that wrong (70s) generation that only know the fake modern way to run a business?

Trump is actually the legitimate POTUS.

The democrats used their refined voter fraud system in several corrupt big cities controlled by democrats to steal the election.

If Trump continued his second term there would be no inflation, the economy would be booming, we would still be energy independent with cheap gas, there would be no war in Ukraine and we would not be under the threat of a nuclear WWIII.

How did we 'stand up to China'? With tariffs that the end user paid? We lost manufacturing jobs under Trump just like under the previous Presidents.

Probably not, inflation was coming no matter who was in the oval office we had already spent to much in to short a time while production was slowed.

That said Trump wouldn't have made the situation worse by trying to handcuff the oil and gas industry to administer a double tap.

My biggest fear is because we allowed the D's to win they'd still wage so much propaganda he'd get nothing done like his last two years mostly about being impeachment instead of doing all that. His first 90 days he got more done then ANY other time in his Presidency.

Bush II in a later interview said 'Any other President would've done the same things I had' which has a double meaning.

We were just starting to get new factories to come back to the US till Covid hit. The Tarrifs were starting to make a turn around. It doesn't happen overnight not when we don't have the tools to make the tools anymore: Rome wasn't built in a day and we had to build Rome without the tools. We had to remake the tools first before we could lay down just even ONE brick. But more bricks were starting to come until Covid slammed us.

I really think Covid was a direct response to the Tarriffs to stop manufacturing from returning in the US. They didn't want that independence to happen. No way!

More would've come if we hadn't focused so much on impeaching him.
That really stalled things as investors lost hope and the economy got stagnant from then on until Covid hit.
Trump by the way was trying to shut down flights to China to stop the spread when Covid first hit back in December 2019 but for a month he was called racist by viewers like you. All thru January if you went to the right sources even Fox talked about it from time to time Trump was saying if we didn't get those airplanes stopped the virus would be devastating here. It hadn't reached all of China yet at the time but had hit hard in a few cities there which some were in hard lockdown.

Manufacturing fell under Trump as well.

Tariffs only penalize the end user, not the manufacturer since it is a pass through cost.

This is becoming clearer to all who have memories and good common sense.
