Presidents have little control over the economy. As internet dorks like to point out, correlation doesn’t equal causation. It is absolutely ridiculous to blame Donald Trump for the COVID-19 recession. A pandemic obviously caused that recession, not Donald Trump. COVID-19 caused the COVID-19 recession. Not only that, economic indicators, or statistics about how we make choices in an economy, are often lagging, meaning they are confirming stuff that has already long already started.

And yet, this myth persists. The myth that the president pulls all the strings on the economy. That a president creates jobs. In this video, Mr. Beat explains that, despite not controlling the economy, presidents can at least sort of influence it.
