US Economic Growth 1961 to 2019

President Trump heralds his extraordinary stewardship of the economy; like most else he says it is simply untrue. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/gdp-growth-rate The economy under his stewardship grew at roughly the same rates as his predecessor with the singular difference that Obama brought us roaring back from the Great Recession; whereas Trump has sent us into a severe recession due to his mishandling of the Covid 19 pandemic – the worst economic year for the US since the Great Depression of the 30’s. This year’s US economy (2020) is projected to contract by nearly 6%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/263614/gross-domestic-product-gdp-growth-rate-in-the-united-states/ The next President may inherit rapid economic growth as the economy recovers from the Covid recession – a V shaped recovery. https://www.statista.com/statistics/263614/gross-domestic-product-gdp-growth-rate-in-the-united-states/ But that happens only if we get a handle on the pandemic.
