"Greatest Economy Ever" ??!? Donnie, please, just the facts !
"Even if we exclude the pandemic-related recession in Trump’s final year in the White House, the Republican’s economic record is underwhelming. Job growth in his first three years in office actually slowed when compared with job growth from Barack Obama’s final three years in office.
Economic growth during the Trump era — again, before the Covid crisis — wasn’t bad, but it failed to reach 3% GDP growth, it fell short of the kind of growth we saw under other modern presidents, and it didn’t come close to the growth the Republican promised to deliver during his 2016 campaign.
The point is not that the economy was awful during Trump’s first three years. Rather, by every relevant metric — job growth, economic growth, wages, manufacturing, et al. — the economy was mediocre by contemporary standards."
