There’s not a single metric of the economy that has gotten better since Trump came back in office.

I get your sentiment since he has objectively made the economy much worse, but this isn’t true. There are sooo many economic metrics that I could cherry pick at least a couple that improved. Overall though, much worse economy now.

Huh, so they’ve been going up since Q2 2022, still haven’t returned to the 2020 peak yet.

Yeah hence why I’m saying the argument that “not a single metric of the economy has gotten better since Trump came back into office”. Technically this one has improved, but it doesn’t tell the full story. Also depends on your definition of “improved”. Homeowners would certainly think higher home prices are better for them, while prospective home buyers wouldn’t.

Sorry cut my sentence off, meant to say the argument isn’t strong.
