Waiting for that same idolatrous worship Trump got for the same thing

U.S. employers added a booming 528,000 jobs in July as the labor market continued to defy soaring inflation, rising interest rates and a slowing economy. The unemployment rate from 3.6% to 3.5%, matching a 50-year low, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists had estimated that 250,000 jobs were added last month, according to a Bloomberg survey.

Waiting for the ‘buts’ and ‘whatabouts’…

And given Trump's job creation history where he is the only President since Hoover to see a net job loss during his failed presidency, Biden added more jobs in one month than Trump did in four years. If fact, Biden has added more jobs during EVERY month of his presidency than Trump did in his four years.

Are you really saying any president would have overcome the worst pandemic in 100 years to not lose jobs? I mean seriously I Imagine you wanted the economy shut down for safety? Then use the tremendous job losses as justification that Trump was a horrible president? That is bullshit.@windinhishair

What isn’t bullshit is that Donald Trump spent 4 years in his job doing nothing but creating chaos and violating established laws. I don’t know if you’ve ever taken a job that the previous job holder let go for 4 years before finally being removed, but it’s a stressful situation, so Biden is doing great.@southbeachguy

@southbeachguy Any former president would have handled covid better than Trump, who denied the pandemic, lied about the impacts, disregarded science, told people to drink pool chemicals, shine bright lights inside their bodies, and take horse dewormer. His malfeasance literally killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and made the job situation worse.

You can't change the facts about his presidency, and a president doesn't get to choose the circumstances under which he serves. But let's just look for a moment about the actual data prior to the pandemic. Trump's highest monthly job creation total was 402K jobs in February 2018. Biden's total last month was 528K. Trump's economy was adding an average of around 200K jobs per month prior to the pandemic. Biden's economy is adding more than 300K jobs monthly, on average. Any way you look at it, Trump was an abject failure compared to Biden on job creation, even if you ignore the pandemic. Facts matter. Try looking at them sometime.

I think our whole government lead by Trump mislead and screwed up many aspects of Covid. I will start with Fauci. As a side note I had a friend who put his mother on lockdown at Christmas of 2019. Jim Cramer was screaming about Covid post Super Bowl in 2020. Why did Fauci say nothing to worry about in late February of 2020? So if Fauci was a clueless idiot why should Trump have been better informed?

@windinhishair Are you saying adding job pre pandemic is as easy as adding jobs after years of lockdowns and slowdowns?

southbeachguy · 46-50, M

Just to be very clear, I am elated that the job market is remaining so strong. I even take the controversial view in the short term I would rather have high inflation with full job market than high unemployment with lower inflation. I will not get into detailed explanation on my feelings and the math behind it here.

@southbeachguy @southbeachguy Face it--Trump failed on the economy miserably. Thank God we have a Democrat in office to pick up the pieces, as Clinton did after Reagan and Bush 41, and Obama did after Bush 43. That's been our recent history going back 40 years.

When was the last lockdown? I don't even remember now as it has been so long. We are now over two years after the massive Trump covid job loss, and Biden's job numbers are far better than Trump's were pre-covid. And Trump's lowest unemployment rate is the same as Biden's now. Trump failed. Get used to him being a loser of colossal proportions.

@BackyardShaman Biden's son is also doing great. Why are things like this never reported?

Graylight · 51-55, F

@oldschool01 I hope your loved one's - and there will be one - old secrets and shame are never released arbitrarily to the world for the purpose of cruelty and amusement. Who'd be crying foul then, you ignorant coward?

@oldschool01

Kid...you just got legitimately called out.
It's not trolling to point out that you are complicit in the vindictive exploitation of Biden's son for no other purpose than causing harm of one kind or another.
Graylight is not the one being a troll.
Grow up.
