That's what the convict's campaign wants you to believe, sure. The budget exploded with the convict's tax cuts for the wealthy, adding trillions to the debt. But otherwise the economy was more-or-less stable.

However, if we neglect the COVID "unique circumstances", then we have to say that post COVID, inflation has steadily declined, the deficit is lower than it was before, more jobs have been created than at any time the convict was in office, etc. So it's still a 'win'.

I know the question is a rhetorical device, but then the answer still has to be "yes"...we're better off now than four years ago. You can't really ignore the "special circumstances" of the prior administration while including them in the current one. You either include it in both, or black-box it in both.
