When you use vague terms like “the economy” one can interpret that any way one wishes. By every objective metric I can think of, the claim that Trump’s first 3 pre-covid years were no better than Obama’s last year or three is preposterous. Maybe some people did worse, some did better, but overall jobs growth, GDP growth, unemployment etc Trump did way better.
