Wrong way Trump coasted on Obama’s legacy, doubled the debt by giving tax breaks to rich people, then crashed the country on the rocks of covid which he totally mishandled.
When Trump was president many people were emotionally exhausted by the latest dumb thing the leader of the free world said. I enjoy the leaders that are not sucking the oxygen from the room.
Here’s how the United States has fared since President Joe Biden took office three years ago:The economy added more than 14 million jobs. The number is now nearly 4.9 million higher than before the pandemic.The unemployment rate dropped back to just above the pre-pandemic low; unfilled job openings again outnumber unemployed job seekers.Inflation spiked to the highest level in over 40 years. Despite recent moderation, consumer prices are up nearly 18% overall during Biden’s time. Gasoline is up 29%.Average weekly earnings haven’t kept pace with prices. After adjusting for inflation, “real” weekly earnings declined 3.4%.Defying expectations, the nation’s economy expanded 2.5% in 2023, marking the third straight year of economic growth.Crime data show a decrease in murders in U.S. cities in 2022 and 2023.The S&P 500 has increased 28.2%.The number of apprehensions of those trying to cross the southern border illegally remains near historical highs. For the 12 months ending in November, apprehensions are up 296%.For the third straight year, gun purchases declined, as measured by background checks for firearm sales.Crude oil production is up 12.7%; imports are up 8.7%.The trade deficit for goods and services is about 20.9% higher.The number of people without health insurance has gone down; enrollment in Affordable Care Act marketplace plans is at its highest point yet.The number of people receiving federal food assistance has declined by more than 700,000.The publicly held debt has increased by about 24.7%.www factcheck org/2024/01/bidens-numbers-january-2024-update/
you see, i minored in history in college…when you really dig in to history, in a president’s first term, whatever his predecessor accomplished in his last two years of office effects and affects the first two years of the newly elected president, so he was riding on Obama’s success not his, and current head of state had to fix what his predecessor had screwed up during his last two years first…when a law is passed takes about 2 years, even though it’s effective immediately

Memory.. is what trump, his ilk and the various talk radio/TV shows tell you. Saves thinking and especially republicans .. abhor thinking.

Lower prices, less inflation, more jobs, more income…None of those were under Biden.

Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man; a weak man’s idea of a strong man; and a stupid man’s idea of a smart man.
