“Even if it was loaded, and, you know, that’s a weird thing, maybe he loaded it. Who would put a gun, ‘Here, Alec [Baldwin], here’s your gun,’ ‘Oh, good,’ lift it up, point it at a person, and pull the trigger, and, ‘Oh, man, a bullet came out,’ she’s dead. So there’s something wrong with him, he’s a sick guy.”

- Donald Trump

Last week the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that an estimated 531,000 jobs were created in October. Since Biden became president the economy has added 5,583,000 jobs. This is almost twice as many jobs as his predecessor lost. On his way to causing the loss of 2,876,000 jobs, Trump was also responsible for ending the streak of monthly job gains that started early in the Obama administration. When Trump left office the unemployment rate was 1.6 percentage points higher than when his term began. So much for being “the greatest jobs president that god ever created.”
