5. Facts: DJIA just over 30,000 January 20, 2021, now close to 43,000.

Covid-caused inflation reduced to 2.4%, unemployment rate just over 4%, 16 million jobs added under Biden (over 6 million more than before the pandemic).

Trump inherited Obama’s strong economy. He basically did nothing for the economy except to add trillions to the debt with the 2017 tax cut for the wealthy. Then Covid hit. There is no way the 2020 economy was better than now. The pandemic Trump ignored until it was too late was still going on. But reality and Trump supporters have nothing in common.
