Perhaps you all should stop watching CNN.
Apparently you forgot that I don't watch CNN. Or any other "cable news". Though if you check CNN's rating (for accuracy and political leaning) that another poster provided last week, you'll see it is roughly center with reasonable accuracy scores.
I listed some of my sources for you. You seemed at least interested at the time. The poster in this thread linked to PEW and one or two other sources for stats and data. Data is good, too. Crime is down substantially over my lifetime. No one POTUS or one party can take credit for that. It just is how society is evolving. Circumstances cause blips, but the overall trend is down. It could be argued that right-wing hate crimes went up because of Trump. It certainly correlates. But I haven't seen an exhaustive study saying it is definite. The pandemic also caused a spike, from what I've read. But the data appears to show it is returning to the trend.
I could go on about oil prices, inflation, etc. None of them are as simple as "POTUS did it". There are always macro factors at work.
I will say that Biden is doing a much better job internationally. Trump was idiotic in this arena. Biden has been reaffirming our support for our allies, making in-roads to the Philippines to curb China's expansionism, supporting Ukraine (with the help of Congress, since they control the purse-strings), etc. The USA is a much more respected, and prominent, actor on the world stage since Biden took over. I may not like all of Biden's policies, but so far I'm supportive of his foreign agenda. We need NATO, we need allies.
