U.S. Economy Wasn't at Best Before Pandemic

U.S. President Trump has repeatedly touted the claim that the economy under his administration has been the “the best the U.S. has ever had.” He cited numbers such as low unemployment rates and stock market highs to prove this.

Trump’s claims of a strong economy had to end with the devastating economic blows which came with the coronavirus epidemic. Since then, he has stated that he will rebuild the economy which he says was the greatest ever.

In late August 2020, the claim went viral on social media.
