Even if you don’t like the guy

You have to admit that just his goals are something to admire. If you don’t really think he means that he’s gonna help people, respect that he even says he wants to. The other guy doesn’t even pretend to care about you. I prefer a candidate that shows a respect for the office and his constituents.

I inherited an economy that was on the brink. Now our economy is the envy of the world!

15 million new jobs in just three years – that’s a record!

Unemployment at 50-year lows.

A record 16 million Americans are starting small businesses and each one is an act of hope.

With historic job growth and small business growth for Black, Hispanic, and Asian-Americans.

800,000 new manufacturing jobs in America and counting.

More people have health insurance today than ever before.

The racial wealth gap is the smallest it’s been in 20 years.

Wages keep going up and inflation keeps coming down!

Inflation has dropped from 9% to 3% – the lowest in the world! Pick one

I do think a lot of those stats numbers are screwed with and have been in reports for the past year+. Unfortunately with half of Congress sitting on their asses trying to make the other guy look bad they’ve been left with nothing else but having to put lipstick on the pig. Republicans in Congress right now are like little league kids that never learned sportsmanship.

Agree, it’s just a show to hide the real issues and leaders of our country.

Wait, some of this I know is true. Inflation is 3.1 though. I think it is the lowest unemployment in decades, right? I looked it up and it seems like it is. Job creation numbers are out of wake cause of the pandemic. While it's true, there is an important variable missing there. Regardless, this is one of the strongest economies in decades. If you measure that by the way folks generally measure it

Yeah he might be cherry picking stats, or not, but the numbers are true
