By standard measures such as job and GDP growth and the stock market, the US economy was in excellent shape

Summary

Donald Trump claims he inherited an economic disaster from Joe Biden, but key economic data contradicts him.

When Biden left office, unemployment was 4.1%, inflation had dropped to 2.9%, and GDP growth was strong. Job growth under Biden outpaced Trump’s tenure, and manufacturing saw major gains.

While inflation spiked due to global events, the economy remained resilient. Wall Street performed well under Biden but has struggled under Trump’s tariff policies.

Economists widely reject Trump’s narrative, calling Biden’s economy one of the strongest post-pandemic recoveries.

    All we need to do to stop Republicans from winning is make that purple line go up…

    But a neoliberal like Hillary, Biden, or Harris won’t do it

    So poor people vote for the liar that says he’ll try to fix versus the liar who says everything is fine.

    If you’ve voted in the last three presidential elections, you most likely weren’t voting for anything, you were voting against the other party.

    It’s not a sustainable political system when voters are presented with two shitty outcomes and told they have a choice.
