THREAD: Biden v. Trump on the Economy

Chart 1: Trump claims he "built the greatest economy in history" in his first 3 years, but the truth is, job creation *slowed* in those years compared to what Trump inherited from Obama-Biden.
Chart 2: Real wage growth also *slowed* in Trump's first 3 years compared to what he inherited from Obama-Biden.
Chart 3: Trump and the Republicans claim that the recent GDP report is great news, but they ignore the fact that the Trump Economy is still far behind what he inherited from Obama-Biden.
Chart 4: @JoeBiden has experience cleaning up Republican economic messes.

Joe ran the 2009 Recovery Act program, which ended the Great Recession and launched the longest streak of job growth on record.
Chart 5: Trump inherited the Obama-Biden economic comeback, but then ...

Small business job growth *slowed* in Trump's 2nd year.

Small businesses *lost* jobs in Trump's 3rd year.

Small businesses were devastated by Trump's incompetent response to COVID in his 4th year.
Chart 6: Seven months ago, Trump falsely promised a "rocket ship" recovery, and he recklessly pushed states to reopen without mask wearing and without adequate testing and tracing.

Seven months later, America is still suffering through a prolonged #TrumpJobsCrash.

Let's be very clear about this nonsense argument from Trump Republicans.

They're arguing progress was too slow under Obama-Biden, and that Trump has done much better, even though:

1. Job creation *slowed* in Trump's first 3 years compared to what he inherited from Obama-Biden.
2. Even *Fox News* acknowledged the slowdown in job creation during Trump's first 3 years compared to what he inherited from Obama:
3. Real wage growth also *slowed* during Trump's first 3 years.

1/ A short thread of charts on the economy, inspired by Trump Rapid Response Director, @AndrewHClark.

All data for these charts comes from the Trump Labor Department.

First up, pace of job creation, before and after Trump took office: data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES…
2/ Next, because Republicans often like to claim that they are the party of the private-sector, here's the pace of private-sector job creation before and after Trump took office. data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES…
3/ To inflate its jobs numbers, the Trump White House often cites data "since the election" rather than "since the inauguration."

But even giving Trump credit for 39 months instead of 37 doesn't help him when comparing it to the previous 39 months:

Worth Repeating: With Trump approval at new low, this is not the moment to give up. It's the moment to press as hard as possible to ensure that the #TrumpCon-#GOPTaxScam (tax breaks for the rich at the expense of the middle class & working poor) doesn't get to final passage. 1/3
2/3 If ever there was a bill that should be easy for 99% of the nation to unite against, it's this attempted "heist" by "the country’s elite at the expense of everybody else, including future generations who will end up bearing the cost." nytimes.com/2017/12/02/opi… …
3/3 And Democrats must relentlessly remind the nation of exactly what happened to workers the last time Republicans pushed their false promise that tax cuts for rich would "trickle down" from "job creators" (see red bar below):
