Alright, I like this...Again, How old are you?-- I'm literally posting facts showing Jimmy Carter's job creation record was top 10 ever, and your response is "you're clueless?" (with nothing to refute the numbers btw).
-- Ah, yes, the ol Clinton was helped by the Republican Congress argument. Okay. Sure. I'll take it. Compromise is a component of leadership, which means he got Republicans to raise taxes which is a very non-Republican thing. As long as when you tout Reagan's job numbers, you make the same argument for the Dem lead Congress he had.
-- Oh, hey would you look at that? He had nowhere to go but up argument for Obama. How'd that work out for Herbert Hoover. For the billionth time, there is absolutely another place you can go following a recession. Down. How do you think depressions happen? In any event, Obama went up, and as such, he created jobs. Period. He gets the credit.
So, for comparison sakes -- Obama HALVED black unemployment. It's gone down 20 % under Trump who inherited a trend. Which btw, it's back up again.

So you're not wrong, but you're not telling the entire story on black unemployment (which is up again). It's actually statistically impossible for Trump to equal the drop in black unemployment that Obama did.
As for blaming the current recession on COVID -- which is accurate -- there''s always a reason for a recession. You don't get to pick and choose. But we are in one now. And Trump is the president. It happened under his watch. But II didn't count it. Extenuating circumstance.
lol How am I re-writing history by posting nothing but cold, hard numbers?
Here's a stock market comparison.

Is this also re-writing history showing that Clinton and Obama had the two biggest increases?
I'd love to see what numbers you're going by.
im 50
I lived through carter sitting in gas lines in parents car for hours where we could only fill up on certain days of the week.
We had huge inflation and interest rates in houses were 15% +!!! If you experienced the malaise of the late 70s you would not try to defend it, numbers can be misleading.
there is a reason Reagan ***** slapped him out of office after ONE term! If economy was good he would have been re elected.
as for Clinton plus newt
I will grant you Reagan plus Tip Oneil
compromise
Now for dumbo!
Again, he benefited from a train wreck due to housing crisis CAUSED by Lib lending policies.
He could have done nothing I suppose and it could have gotten worse, or he could spend a **** load of money that the street likes even though most of it went to crony bull**** like solyndra. So he had to grow jobs, I’d argue it wasn’t good policy that did it, it was just the circumstances. Remember he said we needed to manage a decline in US, that this was new norm!
we can agree to disagree on him
now for Trump, are you going to argue that economy and market weren’t cooking up to this year? Was there something wrong w our economy before CHYNAH virus appeared? Of course not. Right?
Now, are you REALLY going to argue that Weekend at Bernies - BIDEN , is BETTER for our economy than Trump?????? What policy is going to drive that??? More regulation? More taxes? Shutting down our oil and gas production? Absolving tariffs w China so they can go back to raping us?
my bet is there aren’t many in this country voting for Biden because they think he will be better for economy! It’s laughable to even type it.
I appreciate your reply even though we disagree
Cheers
