It’s time for a little bit of fact-checking.
THREAD: President Trump touted getting 10.4 million jobs back. He forgot to mention the 26 million people who are out of work, as well as the tens of thousands of small businesses on the brink of closing.
Big business isn’t doing all that well, either. Look at what happened yesterday:
We also often hear the president talking about how he built the greatest economy ever.
He literally cut corporate taxes in half, but didn’t cut anything for everyday Americans...leaving us with a $1.3T shortfall and forcing us to cut social programs.
It was NOT the greatest economy ever. It slowed in 2019 before the pandemic even hit.
I’d also like to point out that the president’s claim that he brought back manufacturing is false...that contracted, too.
And we can’t forget about the failed trade war with China.
Trump has claimed the trade war was a success but in reality: our deficit is at an all time high and the farming industry has been hit hard with a record number of family farms closing despite a massive farm aid bill.
