For all of his dystopian rhetoric, by many traditional metrics, the America that Trump will inherit from Biden is actually in better shape than that bequeathed to any newly elected president since Bush came into office in 2001. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/u...

President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.
