    If you look hard enough, I'm sure you can find a site that claims we're growing economically.

    But we're not.

    The links I gave you are credible. Still think Trump's an economic genius, doesn't really matter considering how little time he has left as POTUS.

    That's not the point. Your information is wrong. When you convert a quarterly number to an annualized number, you multiply it by four. You are using quarterly numbers for the other countries and annualized numbers for the US and then ranking them and claiming, after you multiply the US number by 4 that it's a larger number, well, duh!

    It's ok, my job was to give you the right information, and I have, you are free to do whatever you like with it.

    Have a great day!

    I see you have no meaningful response to post # 279.
    You know, the one that describes how Trump acted while the WHO twiddled - in factual and direct contrast to your claim.

    I accept your concession of the point.
    When you can meaningfully address post # 279 and demonstrate how it supports your claim, let us know.

    Of course it is. Democrats had no hope of ever winning another election as long as Trump's economy was kicking ass. They HAD to bring it all down, and now they have to keep it down.

    I think everyone knows, as soon as the boot is lifted from the neck of the economy, it'll take off again....unless Democrats are in charge.

    Wait, wasn't the pre-Covid great economy due to Obama according to the LW, and if so isn't our current mess his fault too?

    Well, no.
    When things are good, it's because of Democrats, when things are bad, it's because of Republicans.
    No Democrat will disagree.

    Under Obama, eight years without a recession.

    The country was already going into recession just before the pandemic hit.

    That's how good Trump is.

    In other news God bless the Chiners for their wonderful contribution to world order and economic disaster.. I'm sure you just ran out of words to include them, and you're welcome :)

    It's when we compare the impacts of the pandemic between the US and other Western nations that we understand the "Trump Effect"...

    Thing is, you understand that you don't understand enough to make that comparison.
