M 1. Trump inherited a healthy economy from the Obama/Biden administration.

2. U.S. job growth slowed after Trump took office -- even before the pandemic.

3. In 2019, Trump's third year in the White House, American job growth fell to an eight-year low, even as he pretended otherwise.

4. As a candidate, Trump set specific targets for U.S. economic growth, and as a president, he failed spectacularly to deliver. What's more, the best year of GDP growth in Trump's first term fell short of the best year of Obama's second term.

5. The economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic is partially the result of Trump's ineptitude in responsibly dealing with the crisis.
