Can someone point to me where it shows Trump's economy numbers were great during his term versus other Presidents?

I’m not an expert on the economic numbers, which I suspect were cooked anyway to make PDJT look bad, the same way they were cooked during Obama to make him look good.

I do know this: not long after Trump took office, the “Help Wanted” signs started showing up everywhere I went back in 2017. I mean everywhere, in virtually every store, on billboards, on the sides of office buildings where I live. I don’t know how to quantify that, unfortunately.

The reality of Trumps economic success is amplified by comparing the 50 states

The more states were anti trump

The weaker their economies were

Get new friends. Do something productive with your day. You think you can convince them? All you will get is leftist rationalizations attacking anything you present.

Wish I could see those too.

Are they conflating the artificial ruin due to COVID hysteria AND riots in this last year with the normal regular years before?

That’s what they usually do. Try to blame Trump for all the bad that happened thanks to bowing to a false premise.

I seriously doubt Trump minus COVID had the worst since Hoover.

But then, despite his blustering braggadocio, he didn’t have the “greatest in history”, either.

By the way, Forbes is literally majority owned by communist China. They might as well be quoting from the Peking Times-Herald.

Exactly.

Who are you going to believe, Media and the Left (who entirely control the dissemination of information to the populace) or your own lying eyes?

Don't waste an ounce more energy. You're obviously dealing with leftists, and there's literally no reasoning with them.

Poverty rate falls, unemployment rate lowest ever, especially for just about any group the govt tries to segregate us by.....

Of course the stock market was at a record, but that is just the govt pumping up the value of financial assets by borrowing like crazy. This was the only real disappointment of Team Trump. They continued to spend like drunken fools.

I know that in Obama’s 2nd term, when we were well out of the Great Recession (or should have been), his average annual GDP was 1.89%.

They’re selectively referencing the covid economic fallout. Ask them about the economy through January 2020 and watch them squirm not to answer.

Rhino makes a good point.

They will not care about facts.

Some might, so your efforts aren’t necessarily in vain.

But realize bringing facts will bring in even more insults and ad hominem attacks on you.

You may actually get through to some, but you’ll never know.

Added economy as keyword.

There’s probably 100 sources right there indicating how good Trump’s economy was.

And how bad Biden‘s economy is.
