You create a mess, so you can be the hero when you clean it up.

No no you got it all wrong he 'inherited' the mess.

Probably a bit of both. Every President inherits the good, the bad, and the ugly from the previous President (even if it is the same person); but every President also adds his own good, bad, and ugly also.

No President inherits everything, nor does any President create everything that is good, bad, and ugly about our country.

It is all one continuum. Decisions and actions of Presidents years and years ago are affecting our current situation.
