2/ Job Creation
Obama created 227K jobs a month in his last three years in office. In Trump's first three years, it's only been 191K per month.
Job creation numbers were 20% higher under Obama during that three-year span.

3/ Deficits
Trump DOUBLED the budget deficit, creating over $3 trillion in new debt.
Where did all this money go? Mostly to tax cuts for corporations and rich people. But instead of boosting the economy, business investment has actually fallen since the tax law passed.

4/ Wages
Real wages aka what you can buy for the amount of money you take home, are actually doing worse under Trump.
They increased just 0.8% since Trump took office, compared with 1.3 percent over a similar period under Obama.

5/ Trade War
Trump's self-inflicted trade war contributed to outright job declines last year in states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Indiana and New York.
Overall, the trade war with China cost America 450,000 jobs in 2019.

6/ Obama inherited the worst financial crisis since the great depression and pulled America out of it.
Trump was handed a healthy economy and has made things harder for working families while juicing corporate profits.
Don't let his lies try to tell you otherwise.
