Trump had the highest unemployment in the modern era and the biggest economic decline. He had to send out almost $1 trillion in stimulus because people were suffering so much, not to mention all the businesses that had to be bailed out or went under. Unemployment is lower under Biden than Trump. Wages are higher.

To say things were objectively better is frankly dumb. Trump can say "only because of COVID", Biden can say "only because of Russia", and they're both making a good argument. The US economy largely does what it does regardless of who is in the Oval Office. There's no real evidence to the contrary.

Stop speaking logic. You'll scare him.

They're already scared. It's part of the mixture that fuels so many Republican voters.

You seem to be doing fine. That's awesome. Tell us about yourself. How many people did you have working with you during Trump vs Biden? Have you been able to increase their wages via raises? Are you helping them with inflation until things get better? What is your budget before you have to tell people you love that you (the business) can not longer afford them? I'm honestly asking. It's been tough for me to find / keep people.
Before you ask, we have never started anyone for less than twice the 'minimum wage'..

Its tough for you to find/keep people because either :

You arent paying enough.
