No other President repeatedly claimed "best ever", especially when even before Covid, Trump had the worst performing economy (as measured by GDP change) since Herbert Hoover. See the chart I posted earlier, sourced from the Dept of Commerce's BEA. To use your moniker, it is a fact that GDP in Q4 '24 was +2.8%, while in Q4 2025 it was .7%. That's hardly a gangbuster economy, even by Fed standards. Besides, note the core inflation number released the other day. It's considerably higher than what Biden left Trump. Oh, and it's also a FACT that job growth in 2024 was 2.23 million, while in all of 2025, it was only 181K. Again, hardly gangbusters under Trump. On top of that, the Labor Participation Rate dropped, meaning discouraged job seekers took themselves out of the worker pool. For some reason, too, Biden gets no quarter for having inherited Covid and what that did to inflation, while Trump is immune from criticism, at least in MAGAstan. Also, while theoretically the House approves spending, Trump enacted many policies by EO, on top of the Repub tax cut of his first 2 years. Trump is about as good handling the economy as he is handling businesses where people line up to give you their money, despite the odds being in the house's favor.
