“Trump fixed the economy. Best economy ever!”

What You Say

Trump inherited a 4.7% unemployment rate from Obama and left office at 6.4% during a pandemic he mismanaged. GDP growth under Trump averaged 2.5% — solid, not historic. The 2017 tax cut ballooned deficits without delivering promised wage growth. Manufacturing jobs peaked pre-pandemic and never reached his promised levels. 'Best economy ever' ignores that Obama created more jobs in his second term than Trump did pre-COVID.
