The economy was already humming when Trump first entered office and despite his best efforts it continued to do so through his term.
The only real policy victory his first term was the TCJA. Otherwise, it was a lot of bark, no bite.
But now with four years to prepare, they came in barking and biting like hell.

I think you have a few nasty surprises coming up.
