Social Media Claps Back After Trump Says The Country Had It ‘So Good’ When He Was POTUS

Now that the polls are turning against him and the size of his rally crowds is dwindling, failed one-term, twice-impeached, and multiply-indicted ex-president Donald Trump is trying to remind American voters of how “good” things were with him as head of state.

According to HuffPost, Trump was speaking in Asheville, North Carolina, on Wednesday, ostensibly to lay out his economic agenda for the nation, but the speech quickly devolved into little more than a pathetic bragging session.

At one point, he spoke at length about the “surging economy” he claims he handed over to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, asserting that “we had some of the greatest periods of economic growth and health that any country has ever seen, I think, probably more than any country has ever seen.”

“You never had it so good. Now you’re not doing so well,” he said.

Is that right, Donnie? Well, the facts suggest otherwise. Consider:

When Trump reluctantly left office in January 2021, 95,000 people died from COVID-19 in that month alone.

On January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump’s fanatical supporters stormed the Capitol, attacking police officers, defecating in the House chamber, and threatening to kill members of Congress who were about to certify that President Joe Biden had won the 2020 election.

The unemployment rate when Trump left the White House was 6.3%, the economy was hemorrhaging jobs, and some economists predicted the worst was yet to come.

Trump’s bullshit claims about things being “so good” with him in the Oval Office were quickly debunked on social media.
