Trump’s False Claim: Economy Thrived Under Biden, Not Destroyed
Despite Trump’s repeated claims, numerous economic indicators demonstrate that he inherited a robust US economy from Biden. Key metrics like unemployment (4.1%), inflation (2.9%), and GDP growth (3.1%) were all favorable at the end of Biden’s term, exceeding those of many other G7 nations. Furthermore, job growth under Biden significantly surpassed that of Trump’s first term, and manufacturing jobs saw a substantial increase. Economists widely refuted Trump’s assertions, characterizing the economy Biden left behind as exceptionally strong.
