Trump begins reclamation of legacy with list of policy wins, from COVID vaccine to Middle East peace

Right, that's all it was. "Orange man bad."

If he was half-decent he would have been re-elected, but I'm not going to bother convincing any Trumper. Irrelevant at this point since he got kicked out. Worst president. Good riddance.

 

Now, in reference to the above, and if we were to assume that Biden's 2021 Real GDP will equate to a 2% plus growth, Trump's loyalists could also remind the Democrats of the additional spending that boosted Biden's 2021 GDP, and I'm quite certain they will, such as;

Congress approved $900 billion Stimulus Package
+ the $1.9 trilllion stimulus package recently requested by Biden

NOTE: All that money will undoubtedly and undisputedly boost Biden's 2021 GDP.

 

You can pretend it didn’t happen but I’ve posted the metrics that Trump reversed such as the lfpr, and he clearly outperformed Obama while spending less.
It wasn’t until the democrats handled the virus in thier cities so poorly that crashed our economy and cost so many lives that the economy suffered.

 

In this thread, you haven't posted any metrics, but I did! However, in one ear, out the other.

Once again......

Indisputable fact; Over three years, Trump's REAL FGCEA increased by $110 billion, thus, from $1.191 trillion to $1.301 trillion.

Question; Had we maintained Obama's REAL FGCEA at $1.191 trillion, RECALCULATE Trump's 2019 REAL GDP;

1. ACTUAL

2018 REAL GDP; $18.688 trillion

+ 2.2% ($404 billion)

2019 REAL GDP; $19.092 trillion

---------

2. RECALCULATE (Minus $110 billion)

2018 REAL GDP; $18.688 trillion

+ 286 bilion ($404 billion - $110 billion)

= 2019 REAL GDP; $18.974 trillion, thus, an increase of near 1.6%

Who remembers OBAMA's 2016 ''DISMAL'' GDP Growh Rate of 1.7%?

CONCLUSION; Nothing magical Trump did to boost his economy, and historically, we've never, never, never, nearly doubled the deficit over three years prior to a PEAK, for example;

FY1986 Deficit; $221 B
FY1987 Deficit; $150 B
FY1989 Deficit; $155 B
FY1990 Deficit; $221B
Peak month/year; July 1990

FY1997; Deficit; $22B
FY1998; Surplus; $69 B
FY1999; Surplus; $129B
FY2000; Surplus; $221B
Peak month/year; March 2001

FY2004 Deficit; $413B
FY2005 Deficit; $318 B
FY2006 Deficit; $248 B
FY2007 Deficit; $161 B
Peak month/year; December 2007

TRUMP

FY2016 Deficit; $585B
FY2017 Deficit; $665B
FY2018 Deficit; $779B
FY2019 Deficit; $984B
Peak month/year; Feb 2020

Question; Did increasing the deficit by $400 billion over three years boosted Trump's economy?

Answer; Only the below average intelligent people would answer NO

Conclusion; Due to the above-mentioned indisputable fact, we can't fairly compare Trump's economy to Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan, ect.

In fact, due to different factors and scenarios, we can't fairly compare any economies. To me, it's a partisan sickness.
