The discussion was about stats when Tater took office, not 2019, Simp.On Trump's watch in July 2019
Economic Growth only 3.1%.
- Illegal Mexico-U.S. border crossings surged to the highest number in over a decade.
- The U.S. trade deficit, which Trump promised to reduce, grew by nearly 28%.
- The number of people without health insurance rose by 2 million to 7 million
- The federal debt rose by $1.8 trillion. Annual deficits accelerated.
That continued an unbroken chain of monthly gains in total employment that started in October 2010. The economy has now added jobs for 105 consecutive months, including the first 29 months of the Trump administration.
The average monthly gain under Trump so far is 194,000 — compared with an average monthly gain of 217,000 during Obama’s second term.
So far, growth under Trump has averaged far less than the 4% to 6% gdp per year that he promised repeatedly
Trump repeatedly and falsely claimed that the murder rate was “the highest it’s been in 45 years.” In fact, the murder rate had dropped to the lowest on record in 2014 — 4.4 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. And while it did rise for the next two years, it was still only 5.4 per 100,000 in 2016, far below the peak rate of 10.2 reached in 1980.
As a candidate, Trump promised to “put our [coal] miners back to work,” but so far not many have regained their jobs.
A total of 35,600 coal mining jobs disappeared during the Obama years, but as of June, only 2,200 of them had come back since Trump took office
Illegal border crossings surged under Trump, to the highest levels in well over a decade.
In May, 132,880 people were apprehended trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border without permission, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. That was the highest total since March 2006, when the monthly total hit nearly 161,000.
