Biden is a strong president and has done far more good than any president in the past 50 years but you’re too far up hasan pikers ass to see it.

In the interests of furthering discussion, what are some of these good deeds he did that you see as remarkable?

Lowest unemployment rate in the last 50 years

Got us out of Afghanistan

Debt relief for student loans

Cracked down on COVID and made real efforts to eradicate it

Need more?

Lowest unemployment rate in the last 50 years

In the months prior to the pandemic, the unemployment rate during the Trump administration was below 4% for nearly 20 straight months — there was one exception in that stretch, when the rate was 4% in January 2019.

Had Biden set the threshold a tick higher, at or below 4% — instead of simply below 4% — then “the longest stretch in over 50 years” would have occurred under the president he beat in 2020 and may face again in 2024: Donald Trump.

During the Trump administration, there were 24 straight months when the unemployment rate was at or below 4%, starting in March 2018 and ending in February 2020, before the devastating economic effects of the pandemic kicked in.

By that measure, an unemployment rate at or below 4%, the Biden administration is currently riding a streak of 20 straight months — the longest stretch in over three years.

But trump had the worst unemployment rate because of his mishandling of COVID. Two of my examples. Funny how you tried to focus in a single point (and failed) and ignored the others.

You're not good at this 😂😂😂
