Unemployment is the lowest it's been in decades. Thanks Biden. Immigrants will improve the employment issue for companies. Not sure how you got so lost on that. lol.
Anyway, a trip down memory lane is good. Trump's achievements - highest unemployment since the great depression. Millions of businesses closed never to reopen again. Insurrection. Hospitals over capacity all over the country. Government shutdowns. Tens of thousands of americans dying every month. Airports closed. People stuck in their house for months. Massive bailouts. Bread lines. Failed tariffs. Huge deficits. It was the end of days. Sad.

More than half the negatives you mentioned were a direct result of COVID lockdowns, not Trump’s economic policies. Also, the way the unemployment rate is measured doesn’t necessarily mean more people have jobs, it just means fewer people are looking for jobs. It could mean more people are working, sure, but it could also mean lots of people aren’t looking for employment, and given all the labor shortages, I’d hazard a guess on the latter.

Trump downplayed covid which is why the US had the most deaths by far. Trump failed the covid response so badly that that vast majority of deaths were unvaxxed - his own voting demographic. Then he lost by 8 million. lol.
And fewer people are claiming unemployment benefits than they have in decades. Under trump, unemployment benefit claims ballooned like we never seen before. Oof.
>It's one person coming in from China.
lmao

You don't take corrections well, do you? You claimed that we saw 25% unemployment under Trump. You were wrong. Why have you nothing to say about Obama's 10% record? The world didn't shut down during his two terms. Also, positions filled has nothing to do with American employment rate. 500 million Chinese immigrants can come start working tomorrow. That will not effect the employment rate.

Try again.
Trump's legacy.
Immigrants actually suffered even higher rates of unemployment during trump's failed single term,

Alright, dude. Go look at 1933.

Again, YOU were the one who said we didn't see unemployment rates that high until Trump. That's just false and you can't admit it for some reason. We have never seen 24.9% unemployment rate since 1933, so cut the crap just because you hate Trump. Lies don't help you.
I also don't give a single fuck about immigrants being unemployed, so I'm not gonna read that. Americans first.

Nope. Wrong again.
>Trump's achievements - highest unemployment since the great depression.
Your lack of reading comprehension is probably why you're wrong all the time.
I like how you remove the highest unemployment rates from trump like it doesn't count. lol.
>(barring covid).

Your original comment "we didn't see unemployment numbers that high again until Trump". No, we never saw unemployment numbers that high since 1933.
Your original comment did not say highest unemployment since the great depression. I can't help you backtracking.
Yeah, I feel it's fair to take the peak rate during covid with a grain of salt. I mean, Obama got to 10% without the world shutting down. What's 4.7% more when a global pandemic is in full swing?
Anyway, have a night.
Edit: "we didn't see those unemployment numbers until Trump" same thing. We never saw them again.

Let's just forget the highest unemployment since the great depression since it makes trump look like shit? Nope. Too bad.
Trump is responsible for his mishandling of covid. Nobody else. He lied and a million americans died. Worst president ever. Also a traitor since his insurrection.

Okay, I'll take your silence on the correction as you at least accepting that you were wrong.
I didn't say let's forget it. I'm saying take it with a grain of salt.

Highest unemployment since the great depression. Trump's legacy.
Well that, and his insurrection.
If trump was a secret dem sent to fuck over republicans, it would make so much more sense.
