The economy produced roughly the same number of jobs in Joe Biden’s last full month in office as it produced in Donald Trump’s first full year in office.
And yet, the right wants to call this a "booming economy"

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. During these 37 years here's the average job growth per year under the two parties: Democrats - 2,500,000 Republicans - 90,000 In these last 37 years Democratic Presidents have averaged twice as many jobs created PER MONTH - 211,000 - as Republicans have averaged PER YEAR - 90,000. Of the 52 million jobs created in America since 1989, 51 million, 97%, have been created under Dem Presidents. Essentially all of them. |
That means that Trump economy only produced 15k jobs a month in 2025. And you know the 130k for January 2026 is a lie. It will eventually be revised downward as well. It was just a year of jobs lost. How is that winning. |
Exactly. |

NAVARRO: TRUMP WANTS JAMIE DIMON TO LOWER CREDIT CARD RATES
totalitarianism, or something...private sector, right? I thought the Dems were the "communists?' |
Post-pandemic, during the recovery and re-opening. Are you being deceptive, or are you obtuse? |
Who was responsible for closing the economy and leaving office with an economic disaster such that there needed to be a recovery? All we heard for 4 years during Biden was "inflation" and "horrible economy" with specific outrages over eggs and baby formula, which had nothing to do with a president. And...what we learned was that inflation was a global event with most of the world in worse shape than the US. Biden managed a "soft landing" and left office with an economy that was "the envy of the world" - ever since trump's "liberation day" we have had nothing but economy chaos and job losses, so what was your point? |
More proof that Republicans have no consistent principles. Most of us realized it long ago, but welcome to the club! |
So you’re conceding the point that the large job numbers were directly related to the re-opening of the country? |
? Up until Trump took office, we had job growth. Trump and poof! Gone. |
Who ever suggested otherwise? the alternative is what we are seeing now, which seems to be the GOP preference that we don't have people working in good jobs that provide meaningful income. |
DP. You can go back further than the Covid years. Decent job growth is somewhere in the 2M jobs added per year ballpark. Last year's was 181,000. It's an order of magnitude lower than it has previously been. This kind of weak job growth was previously seen prior to economic downturns. |

DP...re "economic downturns" seem to be synonymous with republican presidents.
Bush 41 left office with a recession. Bush 43 left office with an economic meltdown Trump 45 left office with an economic disaster compare that to the democrats Clinton: left office with a booming economy and balanced budget Obama: fixed what W left and departed the white house with a steadily growing GDP and job growth. Biden: fixed what Trump left and the right wing publications called his economy the "envy of the world" |
