"This sounds jarring since many Americans believe the economic fable Trump has repeated relentlessly throughout his tenure. But placing its financial results next to those of its predecessors paints a deeply unflattering picture."

"Alone among the 13 presidents since World War II, Trump will leave the White House with fewer Americans employed than when he started. He will have overseen weaker growth in economic output than any of the previous 12 presidents."

"To be sure, the deadliest public health pandemic in a century devastated economic activity during this last year of the president’s tenure. But responding to an unexpected disaster – from hurricanes and terrorist attacks to civil unrest and financial crises – is a big part of the job. And Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus has exacerbated and prolonged the damage to jobs and production."

Trump's current historical ranking right now stands in the high thirties to low forties, and unlike most President's, especially with his antics of late, that number isn't going to rise
 
Seriously, what *mortal* President could come out of 2020 with anything but an abysmal rating on the economy?

And no, it wasn’t due to the ‘Trump’s handling of the virus’ meme. Nearly every western nation’s economy has tanked.

Though, China seems to have weathered it ok. Nothing to see there, move along.

No western nation has tanked as badly as we have. No western nation has screwed up so badly the response to the pandemic as we have

That is true, but as the article points out, "responding to an unexpected disaster – from hurricanes and terrorist attacks to civil unrest and financial crises – is a big part of the job"

And it is, and it wouldn’t have mattered who was President with the China Virus.

Democrat mayors allowed the civil unrest to to go on [which, is suddenly and predictably absent] and Trump offered to help but was turned down. The piece needed some ‘filler’ so that’s why the bit about hurricanes was thrown in.

Had any other president had been in office, they wouldn't have spent months lying about the pandemic as have both you and trump.

Trump's brand and Trump's legacy will always and forever be:

LOSER!

That is not true, as we have seen from other nations, or even Governors in the US, there was a better way to address Covid, there is a reason we have five percent of the world's population yet twenty percent of the world's Covid infections

you guys do realize that Obama's record after four years in office was worse than Trump's four year record, right?......
 
What did Boris Johnson lie about and would it have mattered if Winston Churchill had been in charge?

The UK was the hardest hit by Covid-19 among major economies from April to June, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has said.

Its economy suffered its biggest slump on record over the three-month period as coronavirus lockdown measures pushed the country officially into recession.

Apples and oranges since there’s no global standard for recording COVID stats, rate of testing varies and etc.
 
Like everything w/ Trump, his economic policies have been either short-sighted, or non-existent.

His initial tax cuts were always seen as more of a temporary boost - not a long term plan. They were really designed to win the mid-terms. Ultimately, they were just a huge boon for the wealthy.

And he utterly failed during his 1st real crisis. This is really not disputable. A truly terrible economic President, by any measure.
