I don't really think you can say for sure who has a better team

Really? Just look at how many members of Trump's campaign and whitehouse staff have been charged or convicted with felonies. Look at how fast he went through chiefs of staff. Look at who is running his campaign today.

You got Trump right as a reactionary, but he is in no way a neoliberal. Neoliberals are not my cup of tea, but they are absolutely nuts for things like civility, following established norms, inclusiveness, immigration, and free trade.

Biden is a lifelong neoliberal who has miraculously made some pretty major moves away from neoliberal policies. It's a shame the term "Bidenomics" flopped, because there really is something to it. The Biden labor department has made significant changes to aid in unionization. The Chips Act and Inflation Reduction Act have brought a lot of key manufacturing back to the US, which is the antithesis of neoliberal doctrine.

Trump's economy was a disaster even before COVID hit. Supply chain issues started with his tariff war, unemployment was already growing, and inflation was already speeding up.

Even a Biden 20 years younger wouldn't be my choice of president but, against Trump, there is no contest.
