He's an opportunist. He recognized those problems, knew how to capitalize on them for his own gain while making them much worse. He is both symptom and cause.
There are major problems ongoing today such as supply chain issues and vaccine hesitancy, but there is no magic bullet solution to make these problems go away overnight. What do you suggest be done? What more could the Biden administration be doing? Instead of just saying "talking about Trump won't fix anything", actually suggest solutions...
As for the news media, it is important that they correctly identify where many of today's problems originated from: the Trump administration's woefully inadequate response to the pandemic, and vaccine hesitancy that he exacerbated by stoking the fires of distrust and anti-science sentiment. Again, I'm not sure what you want them to be talking about or how you think ignoring Trump will actually solve anything.
