Trump's economic record looks better every day

[Anonymous]

Nothing has gone well for the Biden administration. He won because he blamed the pandemic on Trump. This is despite the fact that Trump took swift action to stop the virus that candidate Biden called xenophobic. And it was Operation Warpspeed that gave us vaccines. Twice as many Americans have died from COVID on Biden's watch as on Trump's, and Biden has had the luxury of vaccines.



His economic record has been abysmal. Energy independence and good jobs to sending resource jobs overseas and making his country dependent on unreliable nations for energy needs.



When running against Donald Trump for president, Joe Biden often made the now-ironic charge that any president who has allowed so many deaths from COVID-19 should never be in the White House. Today, there are more deaths from COVID under Biden than under Trump — and that is even with the vaccine.



Everywhere I go these days, people come up to me and say something like this: "I didn't like some of the things Trump said or the way he acted, but I have to admit I like what he did for the economy."



No one has vindicated Trump's "Make America Great Again" policies more persuasively than Biden. High gas prices, the highest inflation rate in four decades, a plan to double the national debt in 12 years and falling paychecks for workers are waking Americans up to the real broad-based prosperity under Trump.



Trump's strategy was to reduce taxes, slash regulation, massively increase domestic energy production and overhaul trade deals to get tough with China.



No one in the progressive movement thought it could possibly work. The Washington Post famously claimed before the 2016 election that "Trump could destroy the world economy." Did that turn out to be true?



Here are just the facts, ma'am. Over his first three years in office before COVID hit, the unemployment rate fell below 4 percent, which was near the lowest in a half-century. The inflation rate fell to 1%, which was even below the target level set from the Federal Reserve. This kept the interest rates on mortgages and many other loans down to the lowest level in modern times.



Poverty rates fell to their lowest levels ever recorded. This was true for women, children, Blacks, whites, Hispanics and Asians. Median household income rose to nearly $68,000, and the $5,000 gain in three years was more than over the second term of George W. Bush and the eight years of Barack Obama.



Here was another remarkable feat: Under Trump, the United States became energy-independent. The month that Trump left office, one year ago, America was importing zero oil from Saudi Arabia, largely because U.S. oil and gas production had surged. Now we have a president who has to beg the Saudis and Iranians to produce more oil. How humiliating.



The bumper stickers are starting to appear everywhere: "Miss Trump Yet?" Not many Americans miss some of his antics. But every day that inflation surges, the border remains in chaos, COVID runs amok and government spending and debt surges to new multitrillion-dollar highs, Trumponomics sounds like a better idea.

Not to mention that the States had the most secure border in decades under Trump. Illegal immigration benefits prog money and nobody else.

Trump had one other strategy that no democRAT or Republican president ever had that was a big success. That was Opportunity Zones in areas of high poverty and crime. What an improvement it was over welfare.

Trump lost to idiotic, rabid, feminist-inspired female voters who were programmed by their handlers never to vote for Trump. Not for any rational, logical, fact-supported reason, other than he beat Hilary and their dreams of a female President were shattered.



It doesn't matter that Hilary would have been a catastrophe for the US...one that is now imposed by the most incompetent leader on the planet.

He raped a woman for Christ sakes and his only punishment was he could never again practice law in any state. But, progs defended him. Those woke hypocrites lost their shit over Trump getting caught on audio saying grab them by the pussy.

The U.S. economy continued to falter in December under President Joe Biden's leadership, with monthly job gains falling far below modest estimates set by economic experts.



Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by just 199,000 last month, well below Dow Jones estimates of 422,000, according to a new report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figure was down from November, when 249,000 jobs were added.
