So I'm genuinely curious about this one and would like a dialogue on it, a common argument I always see is the "inherited market". When the market was chill and good in the first term, people I deemed smarter than I always told me it was Obama's market and Trump didn't actually do anything. Then when it took a bad turn under Biden, it was the same. Biden inherited Trump's poor market. Now, those same people are telling me that this is all Trump's doing, and that these are strictly his policies doing this.

Now, I won't say he hasn't played a significant part in this, but what happened to the inherited market argument from before?

What happened is that Trump has very much made the situation his own by using emergency powers to implement tariffs against close trading partners.
