Trump helped get unemployment to a generational low. I hope the infastructure deal does this and more, but it hasn't created a lot of jobs yet. Obama spent 750B on a stimulus bill that was a flop. SO let's see what happens, I am very optimistic, enough where I bought stock in companies that ought to benefit (Catepillar), if its done well.

Trump cut federal tax rates in every single income tax bracket. So unless you live in a blue state with really high state/local taxes, or unless your situation changed a lot, you got a tax cut.

By the time Trump left, we were already vaccinating 980,000 people a day. Obviously that number increased as we had time to expand teh infastructure. But like Trump or hate him, we got the vaccine infastructure up and running with impressive efficiency. Trump built it, Biden did a good job expanding it.

Trump slashed the corporate tax rate. So if you work for any American company, or if you ever buy anything from an American company, this helped you. Liberals love to deny that what's good for companies is generally good for everyone. But it's true.
