    As a non American looking at this Biden has been a caretaker president, cleaning up a lot of the mess Trump left behind. Which is exactly what you needed. But there’s no way he has been impactful.

      Yup. The biggest impact he had was cleaning up the Covid response, both medically and financially, but it’s not so much he did a good job as Trump doing a thoroughly terrible job.

        I would say that his infrastructure deal and the CHIPS act will both have a big impact, but I wouldn’t call him the most consequential and impactful president of my life time. Unfortunately, that crown goes to Reagan.
