First, Trump’s own words condemn him on the pre-COVID economy here where he CUT the pay of federal workers citing serious economic conditions. If the economy was great, why the wage cuts?

Second, Donny promised to be a great JOBS president. However, his job numbers over his first 3 years in office trail Obama’s last 3 years. He also trails any 3 year period of Clinton & the last several years of Reagan & Carter He did do better than both Bushes.

2-“The legislation would send a monthly $2,000 check to people who make less than $120,000. It would expand to $4,000 to married couples who file taxes jointly and also provide $2,000 for each child up to three. …

The Obama Era Erased:

The Obama Era Erased:
"This morning's news that 14.7% of the American workforce is now unemployed erases the last drops of Obama's economic legacy that seeped into the Trump presidency-
2-"a steady decrease in the jobless rate from 10% in October 2009 to 3.5% in February of this year. International Alliances have been broken down. Treaties and laws torn up. Social programs frayed. Norms erased. The Russia investigation has been partially rolled back.
3-"And now the once electric economy-which bolstered Obama and gave Trump political currency-has been short-circuited, and left for dark. Ironically, one Obama legacy item still clinging to life is the one that Republicans despise most: Obamacare.

Melinda Gates cited the lack of a coordinated national response and “50 different homegrown state solutions” for reopening the country as troubling, saying: “..if we were doing the things that the exemplar countries are doing, like Germany, we would be testing..
2-"we would be testing-first, health care workers & then the most vulnerable, & doing contact tracing..we would be able to start thinking about slowly, slowly reopening places in society in safe & healthy ways, but we have a lack of a coordinated effort. That’s just the truth.."
