If not for the pandemic, he wouldn't have done any of it. It wasn't a particular position of Trump's to give that money, he just was in the position to do so at a time of crisis.
The intent doesn't change the reality. If your kid only had food to eat because of a Trump policy and you're presented with a choice between him and a nigh-identical ancient piece of shit, which one do you think you're going to pull the lever for?
Nigh identical ancient piecee of shit that let the expanded child tax credits expire putting you back to where your kids couldn't depend on having food*
I agree 100%, people won't understand why things happened, they'll just know that they got money from one old weird fucker and got that money taken away by another old weird fucker.

But how many people are going to see it that way vs just “Trump instated these programs that helped us, Biden took them away.”?
Very few. Talking to rural Americans and a common thing they'll say is, "I remember the economy being a lot better under Trump."
It's not like the pandemic stopped under Biden, we just decided to pretend it did.
Material conditions!
