LurkerMom: When Trump was President the American people remember we had peace and prosperity. The economy
was good, gas prices were low as well as groceries. When Trump was President the American people remember ... Black and Hispanic employment was at a record high.

History and the facts are not on your side.

In December 2019, food insecurity affected 10.5% of the U.S. population, or 35.2 million people across 13.7 million households. By summer 2020 the food insecurity rate was estimated at 27.5%. Grocery store shelves were empty. There were shortages of yeast and flour, meat, and canned vegetables. Canned soup, pasta, and rice were in short supply.

You couldn't find paper towels, tissues, diapers, and certainly everyone (but you, evidently) remembers that you couldn't buy toilet paper.

The average of total stockouts of particular types of goods (situations where retailers no longer had those goods available for sale) rose from around 14% of goods in 2019 to over 35% in early May 2020.

But, sure, right, Americans were "satisfied and content."

As for your employment claim, it's false. Black and Hispanic employment reached an all-time high through the end of 2023, accompanied by faster wage growth over the past four years.


LurkerMom: Our economy sucks.

The real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 3.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was higher than expected. This was due to a number of factors, including increased saving, retail sales, and real disposal personal income.

And since you've missed it, the stock markets have set several new all-time highs this year.

LurkerMom: Wages don’t keep up with the cost of living.

Average hourly wage growth exceeded inflation for 12 straight months in May of this year. Inflation moderated significantly in 2023, with core goods inflation dropping from 12.4% in February 2022 to 0% in October 2023. Core services inflation was 5.5% and declining at the end of last year.

The US added an average of 232,000 nonfarm jobs per month in 2023, which was 55,000 more than the average in 2018 and 2019, pre-pandemic. As of today, the Biden administration had added 15.7 million jobs, and the unemployment rate remained below 4% for 22 months in a row (now 4.1%).

LurkerMom: We don’t have a border anymore. Biden welcomes drug runners, sex traffickers, murderers, rapist and more into America.

We've discussed this over and over and over again: Trump killed the most republican-friendly border bill in decades to make it a campaign issue rather than to make key improvements to advance the nation's security that were endorsed by the U.S. border patrol union and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Plus, as has been statistically proven repeatedly, immigrants commit less crime than native-born Americans.

Orange Jesus babbles that he's the chosen one (but he never attends church services, and cannot name one favorite section of the Bible) and sells fake leather Bibles to idiots for, what, 75 bucks? He called American war dead suckers and losers. He repeatedly called Nancy Pelosi, Nikki Haley. He suggested Americans could possibly cure Covid with disinfectants. He told Americans Covid was no big deal when he knew it was deadly and airborne. He is convinced that electric batteries in boats are electrocution hazards. He said battery-powered airplanes will fall from the sky when there's no sun. He is an adjudicated rapist. He schemed to use fake electors to overturn the 2020 presidential election. He was impeached twice. He quotes Hitler. He has promoted Project 2025 but ow says he never heard of it. And despite having his own private jet, flew on the Lolita Express at least seven times.

Now let's review:

You are wrong.
