I’d take either of them over ANY Democrat.
Real GDP was at an all-time high under Trump.
Unemployment and inflation were at decadal lows under Trump.
I lived (as an adult) under both. I think the economy WAS BETTER in 2019 than in ANY of Reagan’s years. So, Trump’s statement was correct.
But that doesn’t mean Trump was better at economics. Trump’s economy was still benefiting from things Reagan did… like indexing taxes to inflation, 401ks, deregulation, etc.
Again … I like both when it comes to economic policy. Although Trump was not as good at trying to control spending, neither was all that great by this one measure.
My numbers ARE real GDP, there’s no way you can make that statement. Reagan’s starting point was ridiculous to deal with and Trump never had to deal with a tightening Fed. He had them loose the entire time.
