    Nope. The entire bullshit spike from his initial term was all hopes and dreams, and he didn’t do anything to actually bolster the economy or any specific sectors. Exactly the opposite, he imposed tarrifs inflicting damage to many production sectors and physical goods producing companies, lowered the “bottom” of the market by pumping up other sectors with complete fluff and BS, literally handed taxpayer cash to foreign companies that just took it and ran (remember those chip fabs that never happened, or the Foxconn fiasco?), pumped and dumped specific swing states with bullshit “deals” that were never on the table to try and sway votes for reelection (Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia), and flat lied the entire time about cash coming into the country with no physical goods ever leaving (not possible).
