After adjusting for inflation the economy overall is 11.5% larger now than it was at the end of 2019, when output under Trump reached its peak. Growth rates were comparable: From the third quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of this year, inflation-adjusted output rose 2.66%; in the comparable pre-COVID quarters, comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018, the economy expanded 2.8%.

  1. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
    People are, on average, worse off. Taxes are higher. Housing prices are higher. Food prices are higher. Post-secondary tuition is higher. Crime is higher (except the cops figured out how to mask this by just not arresting anyone)
    More importantly - open Jew hatred is through the roof.
    Maybe you missed it but a Jew was killed by a Muslim in Chicago who was screaming "God is a mouse!" and the mayor and police deny it was a hate crime. Jews are attacked daily in New York. Campuses are reminiscent of 1935 Germany for Jews. Did you miss all that?
