    @Jolly said in The economic record:

    Growth of 33.9% for the last quarter, wasn't it? I could be wrong...

    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.

    And would have been disastrous regardless of who was in government.

      The depression would have sucked for any president.

      It shows up in Hoover’s stats.

      Them’s the breaks.

      Only non-witches get due process.

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

        October's numbers show 685K new jobs.

        Does your comment include those?

        Does that mean 115K jobs lost?

        Does that still mean the most by any President over his term?

        ETA: Trump still has (presumably) about 2 months in his term. Isn't it a bit premature to pull that trigger?

                But give Trump credit for his lasting effect on at least three things: the strong American economy, his strength in dealing with China, and Obamacare

                          Looks like we have to factor in the results of all the vaccine and other efforts now before we have a final tally. Jan 21 should now be part of the compare Trump and Biden record.

                          Heck I’ll even throw Biden some stock market points to satisfy the group but even that jump was based on divided government.

                            It just eats at a democrats insides at the thought of Trump being remembered for his accomplishments.

                            It's understandable, though. Of the democrat presidents in any of our lifetimes, the only one remembered in a positive way is John Kennedy. Jimmy Carter will always be remembered for nearly crashing the economy and giving rise to radical Islam. Bill Clinton will always be remembered as a sexual deviant. Obama will always be remembered for destroying the democrat party and race relations.

                            Trump on the other hand will be remembered for his accomplishments, and compared to the likes of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

                              Four years ago you were comparing him to Churchill, now it's Reagan and Thatcher.

                              His reputation is already in decline!

                                    No, he doesn't have a total lack of empathy. You adhere yourself to all the other small and weak people around you, expecting a mob, if it is ever required. Or maybe a phone call. That is your empathy.

                                        This world is made up of leaders and followers. Two things identify followers...Followers will always nip at a leader's heels. Followers will never understand what makes a leader.
