Agree with the border stuff, invaders and such but “improve the economy” is vague.

How would he improve it? Reducing the size of government would absolutely improve it in the long term but would hurt many current government employee’s, contractors, suppliers, entitlement recipients, etc., and could start a deflationary collapse in the credit markets.

No politician has done it to date because doing so would cause tremendous economic pain and they would be blamed for being the cause, even though it’s necessary for a real recovery.

He didn’t do it last time. In fact, he did the polar opposite by demanding the Fed reduce interest rates and restart QE. He also signed off on bigger government with the creation of “Space Force” and added a great deal to the public debt.
