Donald Trump’s claim to have presided over the best economy ever is patently #false.
“Not only was [Trump’s] economy not the strongest in history; it wasn’t even as strong as it has been during Joe Biden’s presidency,” Steven Rattner, former Obama administration “car czar,” explains on his website.
“Excluding the effects of covid, the #economy #expanded at an average annual rate of
2.6% under Trump -- but at a
3.5% rate under Biden.
#Job #creation shows a similar trajectory. Excluding covid, Trump’s economy added an average of
182,000 jobs a month; -- Biden has grown the employment rolls at a
271,000 rate.”
