    and the Chinese gave Trump and the world the corona virus.

    It's nothing to worry about, the overall economy is strong, once the virus is no longer a concern it will bounce back up. The economy isn't hurting because of policies...quite the opposite

    Trump's very first response to Covid 19 was, "Problem? I don't see no stinking' problem ...".

    What's untrue? It hit double digits at the end of his second year in office...he took office in Jan of 2008. Granted that was four years into a Dem Congress as well...so it's not totally his policies. The 2010 election was a huge success for the American people that's for sure

    I am not sure whatt you are talking about.

    I am ;glad to see the President helping working class Americans during the virus scare....not just bailing out donors like the Dems did

    Sniveling at the data is futile. Anyone who would wish to regress to the dismal conditions contrived by Bush/Cheney, and would undo the impressive recovery engineered over the next eight years, is a very, very silly person.

    China's first report of COVID-19 was problem! So again, you're not going to be even remotely accurate in any of this?

    Well those conditions were in play long before "Housing Bubble and high risk loans" were in play during the Clinton Presidency.. So that shitstorm was building for quite awhile :)

    Such hyper-partisan crapdoodle is exposed by public opinion. Fake Don's failure is amply attested to in poll after poll.

    he took office jan of 2009. The recession bush handed him was extensive, and led to 10% UE. luckily, we had Obama and the democrats in office to once again save the country from republican incompetence.

    Cherry picking, sort of like how you avoid mentioning China or the COVID-19 in all your current Trump and economic bashing :)

    UE continued to stay around double digits until the GOP took office after the 2010 elections: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

    Ths was Obama and the Dems so called "new normal" - thankfully the American people rejected them

    If you actually believe that you truthfully described the achievements that resulted in the American people's twice electing Obama with a majority of the popular, and assigning him 60% approval at the completion of his two terms, you must have an inordinate contempt for most Americans.

    The growth we saw while Obama was in the Oval Office is about the same as what we've seen while Trump has been in office. The "Trump economic miracle" is a cultish myth. The facts seem to point to the idea that maybe you shouldn't slavishly worship the President when it comes to the economy and that other factors typically prevail. But the Trumpists are prioritizing feelz over facts here, obviously, and that won't change.

    Anyone can get that kind of bought for love... You keep handing out Obama phones and promises of free bullshit and this country will build a statue of you and zealots will lay at it's feet and worship.

    Or I can do what I always do and refute the claims you make. Obama signed the stimulus which got the economy on track to a now 10 year trend.

    Be careful talking about objective facts. They seem to "trigger."

    You can easily see the same sort of trends pre-COVID-19, should you decide to consult the facts.
