The worst jobs president in American history has also made nearly everything we consumer more expensive while starting a war of choice in the Middle East and giving mass tax giveaways to the wealthiest people and corporations.
When he ran for president again in 2024, Trump made three promises to the American public: He said he’d “secure” the southern border. Most Americans now believe he’s gone too far in this. He’d avoid foreign wars.
He said: “We’ve spent $8 trillion in the Middle East, and we’re not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we’re not fixing our highways, our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, even.” Umm. How well has this promise turned out? His third promise was to bring prices down and create more jobs. He said: “Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” In fact, Trump has pushed prices way up. As of today, the price of Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil, is above $116 a barrel. The average price for a gallon of gas in the United States is now $4.00, and many people are paying far more. Food costs are also heading upward. He’s also raised tariffs on imports. This has increased the prices of everything we buy from abroad. He has also pledged to be “the greatest jobs president that God has ever created.” But he’s been the worst jobs president in American history. In his first term, Trump presided over a historic net loss of nearly 3 million jobs, the worst jobs numbers ever recorded under an American president.So far in his second term, he has presided over a loss of 150,000 jobs. The only thing Trump has done to make any Americans better off is to cut taxes on the rich and big corporations. He did this in his second term. It was also his major economic policy in his first term May I speak plainly? Trump has turned the American economy into sh*t. Trump’s economic record is only slightly worse than that of every Republican president before him. Here’s the historic truth that everyone needs to understand: The America economy does worse under Republican presidents. Since 1933, the U.S. economy has grown nearly twice as fast on average under Democrats.Wage growth slowed after Reagan’s tax cuts for the rich and big corporations. And the Bush and Trump tax cuts didn’t trickle down, either.These giveaways to the wealthy have come at the expense of investments in infrastructure, education, and health care — making life more expensive and difficult for everyone who isn’t rich.They’ve also exploded the debt and deficit. Reagan oversaw a 186 percent increase in the national debt — the biggest percentage increase in over 70 years. The Bush and Trump tax cuts — which mostly benefited corporations and the rich — are the main reasons why America’s debt continues to grow faster than the economy.Look at the historic record and you see something else: Republican presidents have led us into the three worst economic crises of the last hundred years. The Great Depression began in 1929 under Herbert Hoover. The Great Recession began in 2008 under George W. Bush. The pandemic recession of 2020 began under Trump.Democrats led us out of these Republican economic crises.Republicans talk about “running the country like a business.” Sure. They’ve run it the way Trump ran his businesses: with massive debts, a string of failures, and payouts for the folks at the top, while average workers get shafted again and again. Given Republicans’ track record, why would any hardworking American put their financial security in the hands of a Republican president ever again?
