Thursday night's debate will be remembered for President Biden's disastrous performance. But it also laid bare a key theme heading into November: a clash over how good or bad the economy that former President Trump handed off to Biden really was.
Pinky and the brain?
Is that a reference to Pinky Tuscadero?

You could try Googling "Pinky and the Brain", instead of simply making an ignorant comment.
...Oh wait. I forgot who you are for a moment.
Let's bring some actual data to this discussion:
The peak full time employment under Trump occurred in Dec'2019 at 131.7M, when Trump took office in Jan'17, the full time number was at 124.6M meaning that he created 7.1M full time jobs with ~93% of those jobs in the private sector.
For Biden, his current full time number is 133.3M, a 1.6M increase from the number Trump achieved without accounting for 'bounce back' jobs due to covid. Of the 1.6M jobs, roughly 70% were in the private sector. Also, in terms of full time jobs, they have actually decreased from Biden's high in Jan'23 by ~1.5M (many high paying in tech) and that is a big part of the reason why people are seeing a weak economy now.
Further, we have had anywhere between 10-19M illegals enter the country - assuming 70% are of working age, we would need to grow jobs by 7M at a minimum just to account for them - which we see in the boom in part time jobs. What this means is that native born citizens have less total employment now than under Trump. Further outside of those making $7.25-$15.00 per hour in 2021), the remaining employees (predominantly middle class) have seen inflation far outpace wage growth - so yes indeed, they should feel poorer because they are.
In terms of native born US citizens, employment peaked at 131.7M in Oct 2019 and is currently 130.5M - so, down 1.2M under Biden....yeah, a lot of those were 'black jobs' taken by illegals so again, the anger is justified.

Yeah, they don't back your comments. The links is good, though, as are the "Data Suggestions Based On Your Search". So thanks for that. BTW, you can actually edit the dates and put in the start of Trump's term to the end of the available data (5-1-2024). Biden's term picks up on January 2021.
Let me make it easier, at least on Trump's numbers:
