Donald Trump appointed Jerome Powell as chairman of the federal reserve. Powell’s easy money policy of holding interest rates at about zero and buying treasury bonds has increased liquidity in the market and is definitely a factor in rising inflation. Trump very publicly pressured Powell to keep rates low. This does not mean that Powell’s policies are wrong as the alternative may have been worse but it is yet another example of how putting all the blame on Biden for inflation is wrong and untrue.
Trump released thousands of Taliban prisoners and Pompeo posed proudly with Taliban leaders. There is no way that these actions did not contribute to the Taliban takeover and American deaths. Trump even publicly boasted of boxing Biden in on the Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden deserves blame for continuing Trump’s misguided policies but there is more than enough blame to go around.
Supply shortages are a global issue. There are shortages in England, France, and parts of Asia. This is a complex global issue. Renault stopped production in France due to a lack of semi-conductors. Just as a COVID outbreak is not Trump’s fault a global parts shortage cannot be placed solely on Biden’s shoulders.
The black community may have high instances of anti-semitism but any honest person will admit that the attitudes that are prevalent by many in our community towards their community are equally reprehensible. Our schools and talmidim would benefit from teaching and learning subjects that focus on the experience of minorities in America instead of reflexively dismissing every racial issue.
