The left-wing media exaggerated Trump's failures while the right-wing press exaggerated his accomplishments. I'm not sure why people believe only one side of the media is biased - both sides blatantly mislead.

Your statements aren't accurate and contradict each other. NAFTA promotes outsourcing manufacturing jobs and cutting funds to the UN peacekeeping and Guatemala perpetuates refugees. Challenging trade with China while allowing US companies to manufacture in China caused more job losses and higher prices. However, Biden continues to follow the US initiative to punish China for using a capitalistic model to increase GDP.

The Supreme Court ruled against the Keystone project, but it wasn't supplying oil to begin with, so how could it affect oil prices when it never provided any? The cost of oil is a complicated economic matter that has nothing to do with Trump or Biden.

Manufacturing job data cannot back up the claim Trump made about jobs:

"The rate of factory job creation under Trump, even when you strip out the coronavirus recession that we're currently neck-deep in, is roughly the same steady but slow rate it was under the eight years of the Obama administration." - American Manufacturing Org

The US raided Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador for natural resources, and the intervention caused political instability and initiated the genocide of indigenous. There's a reason why the US has a refugee and funding agreement in those countries - it's responsible for their problems.

While listing your opinion of Trump's accomplishments, you missed the one thing Trump's admin did that helped every American; the Covid stimulus act. Trump increased spending on Americans. This was the first time in decades the US government supported the people with financial assistance. Although aid benefitted the financial sector and corporations more than Americans, the public received more financial aid than any other president since FDR.
