Nikocado can upload videos 2 years ahead, but Trump just made Biden take the blame for an unpopular order he made 4 years ago

As another user pointed out, Biden could have done something about this in the four years that he’s been in office.

Why is this downvoted? Surely there is something they could have done in 4 years to stop this if they didn’t agree with it.
