That is an interesting trait of Trump cultists though - the ones that think an incumbent government has direct control over people's circumstances.Fuck, I think 90% of the people supporting Trump are doing so because "food and gas are too expensive." There are tons of signs that say "make gas and food affordable again." I mean, yeah that shit sucks. I drive for a living and luckily I don't currently pay for my own fuel, but I did up until recently and it sucked balls. And my grocery bill has gone up about $100 a week in the last few years. But I'm not stupid enough to think that the president can just fix inflation. These people have no understanding of economics.
All they can do is make and implement policy - and it doesn't necessarily mean that hard times are due to incompetence / malicious decision-making, or that good times imply the converse.
The inflation is mostly, if not entirely, due to the supply shocks invoved with recovering from the pandemic - and Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent impact on global oil supplies, which would have happened regardless of who was in office.
Those people who are retarded and think that Trump would have been able to stop the invasion should be aware that his plan was to tell Putin "Don't you do that Putin! Don't do it!" (Biden tried a variant of this, but it didn't work for him for some reason).
As though that murderous dictator wouldn't have just gone "LOL! LMAO even" and Slav spam Ukraine regardless. Then Trump would seethe for a bit and then go "He mustn't have understood me, because we're good friends."
