  1. It seems you cannot read a chart. Poverty decreased under Obama after the crisis, the trend continued under Trump (as he surfed on Obama's good economic wave) at the beginning, then went up to the current level at the end of his mandate (he was still president in 2020).
  2. Do you remember what happened in 2020 and 2021? Poverty increased during the pandemic and started to decrease in 2022. Thank you Joe. But if you prefer to stick to 5 years old style economic reasoning, it can be argued that poverty level has increased to the current level under Trump!
  3. Poverty level in 2022 was the same as in 2020. I haven't seen figures released for 2023 yet.
  4. I don't disagree with you. Events get names which are not always accurate. Actually, it seems that Trump is at the origin of the name "Muslim ban". Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said in an interview on Saturday that President Trump had previously asked him about legally implementing a “Muslim ban.” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/316726-giuliani-trump-asked-me-how-to-do-a-muslim-ban-legally/
  5. Debt has increased in most countries during and after Covid. The difference is that the U.S. has generated more growth from it, than other developed countries.
  6. Top 20 was never my claim. I never made any claim about emerging or developing economies, because they are not comparable. By definition, they have a higher growth than developed countries, that's why they are called emerging or developing. Ex China always had a higher GDP growth since the 80s.
  7. It seems you have a poor understanding of economics. India, Turkey, Russia, Indonesia and China are emerging economies. They are not comparable. All comparable economies have a lower GDP growth than the U.S. That was my claim and you demonstrated it. Thank you! 😅
  8. Was it significantly different in 2020?
  9. Lol! The first 5 countries are emerging economies. Thank you for confirming that the U.S. has the highest GDP growth among developped economies. It spares me the time to search for it! 😃
  10. With your 5 years old style arguments? 🤣
  11. Making facts up, as usual? https://www.statista.com/statistics/200463/us-poverty-rate-since-1990/
  12. Currently the best economic performance among developed countries! https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  13. What is commonly called "Muslim ban" is more accurately called "Muslim travel ban". It did happen. Of course, it did not concern all Muslim countries. There was an executive order in 2017 and a second executive order n January 2020. https://immigrationhistory.org/item/muslim-travel-ban/
  14. That was the continuation of Obama's trend. Actually the unemployment decrease rate was lower than under Obama!😃 https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate
  15. Most the "BS", as you call it, is of his own making. He did what he did.
  16. You forgot: a childish sore loser who is always whining and claiming he won the 2020 election! 😃
  17. Not sure it's the same guy. All MAGA posters parrot arguments from the same sources, which usually refer to Trump himself or RT.
  18. That's rich from a Trumper! 😀 Trump has a poor knowledge of geography, invents country names and recently proudly claimed Orban was Turkey's leader! 😀 At least two reasons to prefer Biden: - Biden is not a sore loser who tried to steal legitimate elections; - when confronting a major crisis, Biden acts rationally, and not in a childish and selfish way.
  19. Not to the same extent, ex under Trump max 0.5% above other advanced economies. It's all on this website, by year, you can do your own search if you have more questions https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDP_RPCH@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD/USA
  20. My point is that, with very similar level of inflation than other developped countries, the U.S has reached a significantly higher growth than other comparable developed countries. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  21. About your first question, I have no precise information about it. It may be that some countries have decreased prices a bit later than the U.S. I agree with your comment about previous years. As I posted somewhere previously, U.S. inflation has been a bit higher than in other developed countries in 2022, and a bit lower in 2023, so the cumulative 2022+2023 inflation should be similar. What is remarkable about the U.S. economy is not the inflation (similar to comparable economies), it's the GDP growth obtained with this level of inflation, which is much higher than other comparable developed countries.
  22. Lowest inflation in G7, and in detail: very low food inflation and energy price decrease.
  23. Trump had a lot of failures in his business life and was saved by his success in show business (for which I must admit he is talented). https://fortune.com/2016/09/08/donald-trump-the-apprentice-burnett/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/28/us/donald-trump-taxes-apprentice.html Oops! I nearly forgot Russian money! :) https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/12/21/how-russian-money-helped-save-trumps-business/
