Trump has bragged that he would “Make America Great Again,” but in the yearly break down of the American economy, how much is trend residue from Obama’s presidency until COVID-19 hit.

Trump called to his followers that he would be the best thing that ever happened to the American economy. That he, as a businessman, would be able to fix all the was wrong with our country since his experience was nothing like his competitors. He used statistics from the first years of his presidency to prove his claims.

NBC with the Wall Street Journal analyzed the situation. They found that Trump’s bragging was hot air, as he “inherited a good situation.”

Looking at the data, Trump’s first three years in office were nothing too dynamic. There were no dramatic up tics as he foretold, only a smooth line of continuation from the averages Obama set after fixing the recession he acquired.

When looking at the negative trends that do spontaneously appear during the Trump presidency. It is directly attributed to his administration since they stand out in comparison to the generally positive trends seen after The Great Recession.

Kate Davidson and Ryan Zamarripa wrote articles in which they foretold that the United States was headed toward a disaster with or without the pandemic.

Then by 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country and destroyed all progress that was enacted in the following years. If Trump does get elected for his second term, only then can we be sure of what he is capable of creating. As whatever rises from the ashes will be entirely his.
