Before Trump our economy was crap. Even with Covid still going on he's getting things back to the way they were pre-covid. Like him, hate him, or whatever he's the best man to get the economy back. Especially compared to a lifetime politician who's accomplished nothing in almost 50 years of government service other than being VP during the time our economy went to crap when there was no virus like Covid.
2020 does not count because of the pandemic, but if you compare Trumps first three years in office with the last three years of the Obama administration you will see that Obama created more jobs and grew the economy at about the same rate with about HALF OF THE DEFICIT SPENDING of Trump.
Trumps economy is built on debt. It is like a person borrowing a million dollars and then claiming to be a millionaire.
He really did not do anything special at all for the economy. His tariffs were such a bust that he had to get Congress to give special financial support to farmers who were damaged badly by them. But it did not matter to him because it was just more debt he would never have to pay for.
