I’m a never Biden person. As much as I don’t like Trump, things were going in the right direction under Trump.
I will give Biden props for handling Ukraine and Gaza. I support giving aid to Ukraine but I don’t support boots on the ground.

Explain how things were better under trump, and then explain how it was related to anything trump did.

Well it sounds like you already have your mind made up.
What has Biden done better? Higher inflation? We all love that higher inflation.

Biden will face the same challenges Trump had in 2020, namely that it is harder to have people fired up and enthusiastic to show up to the polls when their current choice is already in office. I think that Biden will have pandemic fall out inflation to hurt him with independents like Trump had his covid response hurt him with independents. It really will be a coin flip IMO.

I wish we had better people running.
I voted for Obama twice. He was very disappointing, in my opinion, but I felt the Republican candidates were garbage. I know Democrats get upset when you say their messiah was disappointing but had the potential to be one of the greatest presidents in history.
One thing that defines me is I like people who create jobs. One thing I admire about Elon is that he has created many good paying jobs. That is how trickle-down is supposed to work.
Romney prided himself on destroying jobs and outsourcing jobs. A person like that will never get my vote.
That is part of the appeal to the blue-collar people and Trump. It is a nice catch phrase: MAGA, Make America Great Again. Bring the jobs home.
Now, I am not convinced he delivered on that promise, but I like the idea of breaking our ties to countries like China, which abuses people and wants to invade our allies.
Overall I am not thrilled with Trump but life was good under Trump. Unless something radical changes, he will get my vote in the next election. I just wish the Republicans had run someone better.

The economy is actually doing quite well under Biden. Between the IRA and CHIPS, and other measures, manufacturing is looking good. Blue collar jobs are doing fine too, with some hiccups due to world events. I’d rather have Biden anyway especially since he has let the Central bank have autonomy to set interest rates unlike Trump who took a less conservative approach and more of a populist approach.
