The economy was never as good during Trump’s Presidency as he and his surrogates claimed it was.
But Trump is basically a used car salesman. A self-promoter. Aided by a messaging and propaganda operation that crafts simple, easy-to-remember messages and repeats them endlessly.

Most people, when they see the actual numbers for the economy under Trump, are surprised, because it’s not what they thought. Why was it not what they thought? Because they believed it was the greatest ever. Why did they think that? Because Trump said it. Over and over again.
Even media outlets that are not friendly to Trump tended to take his boasts about the state of the economy at face value, rarely researching the facts and correcting the record.
They would repeat his claims about the economy even as 2019 added the fewest jobs since 2010.

The GOP and Fox News know how to message effectively. Their main problem is that they don’t care whether or not the messages are remotely true.
They understand that people like simplicity. People don’t pay attention to minute details. Or have long attention spans. Repetition.

Joe Biden’s first year in office have seen extraordinary jobs and GDP growth. Passed a badly needed infrastructure bill and COVID relief. Trump would have salivated to have these accomplishments.
But when you hear the Dems on TV, they spend their time talking about what they didn’t do. It’s literally loser talk.
“Our voters aren’t going to come out if we don’t pass child care, college tuition and dental care. We haven’t accomplished much.”
Are you freaking kidding me?

The accomplishments are there. But that doesn’t matter if they don’t know how to claim credit for it and not talk like losers.
Take a page from the big orange bag of wind. He knows how to promote himself. @TheDemocrats can too. And they have a good story to tell. Already.
