The PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) was a huge giveaway that was partly bipartisan. Except Trump wouldn’t allow proper oversight, so of course it was abused.
There’s also the quantitative easing that happened under Trump. Normally I wouldn’t criticize the POTUS for something the fed is in charge of but Donnie cried about the fed potentially raising interest rates his entire term which kept them from doing so. That left the fed with no tools but to spin up the money printing machines when Covid hit.
