All of these metrics were better under trump.

And they were also worse under both obama and now biden, so the "when my guy is in office and he sucks it's only because the previous administration sucked" argument doesn't hold water.
The February-March 2020 crash says otherwise. To the tune of Trillions of dollars. Trump like other republican presidents before him lead to a recession. At one point the DOW was actually lower then Obama left it too Trump.

And before you say it wasn't Trumps fault. It was. It was all of his fault for the terrible way he handled or lack of handling this pandemic. Oh sorry he put the VP in charge and then Jared. :roll eyes

We will have to see if Evergrande and rolling blackouts (lack of resources) lead to the next recession.
