    Yeah Covid. But these are the facts:

    If Trump's term were to end today his economic record would be as follows:

    1. 1.37% avg annual GDP, the lowest ever for a President.

    2. 800,000 lost jobs. The most by any President over his term.

    3. $7 Trillion increase in the national debt, the largest ever.

      Facts don’t care about your feelings, Jolly.

        I will be the broken record, but not really his fault. But then again I don’t believe all the success as his either. 🙂

        I get that, however, it remains the case that when you see presidential administrations compared by economic records partly-to-mostly out of their control, Trump will stand out for his inferiority.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            What does this even mean? Facts are facts. If something changes in light of an event, then it wasn't a fact, it was something else -- a projection, a supposition, an educated guess, whatever.

            It would be truer to say that events are considered (whatever "considered" means in this case) in light of the facts. Though that probably isn't always true, either.

                This list seems somehow incomplete.

                  True. But GDP, Jobs, and Debt are certainly 3 of the top...thinking on the fly... 6 metrics maybe?

                  I'd add trade deficit (he was record bad), inflation (good) and market (good).

                    October's numbers show 685K new jobs.

                    Does your comment include those?

                        I think Jon's looking at it over the years of his presidency.

                        Overall, he's probably right, when you average it out. 2020 was disastrous.

                                          The depression would have sucked for any president.

                                          It shows up in Hoover’s stats.

                                          Them’s the breaks.

                                          Thank you for your attention to this matter.
