In a House hearing on the Oversight Committee, Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) claimed that Donald Trump saved the American economy after the COVID-19 crisis.

"President Trump's pro-growth and pro-worker, er, uh, pro-worker economy created by the tax cuts and job act and investing in American manufacturing combined with the unparalleled response to the pandemic created the fastex — fastest economic recovery in history," she told the committee.

While critics have certainly called Trump's response to the pandemic unparalleled, the U.S. lost so many jobs under Donald Trump that it set a record for the worst jobs loss by any president in the history of the United States, the Washington Post explained in 2021. Fortune even characterized Trump as worse on jobs than Herbert Hover, who was in office when the stock market crash of 1929 happened. He was the first president since Hoover to leave office having not increased the jobs in the United States. He had 3 million fewer jobs in the country.

They said the good job numbers during the Clinton years were due to Ronald Reagan.

8. They dwell in an "alternate reality"

... and DEPEND upon their willfully bamboozled hoards to believe any absolute LIE they are told.

Which is why they're always on about people being "woke." They WANT everyone asleep.

9. It's Laughable - Tr**p's Unparalleled Response To The Pandemic.....

He did nothing as a response to the pandemic. He tried to minimize it and say it was nothing.

How many people died under his watch?

Trump didn't save the American economy after the COVID-19 crisis. The Covid-19 crisis persisted long after he lost the presidency.

I know I said it was laughable. It's not laughable - it's actually sad that he didn't react like a president should in such a crisis.

11. trump fucked it up so bad, the next guy couldn't help but do better

So for setting the table by driving the economy into one of the deepest ditches ever, we give Trump the credit! Yay!

For the humor impaired.
