A Year Into Trump's Term, Voters Say Biden Was Better

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. You read that right - Trump is just that amazing.

Hilariously, Rwing Pollster Rasmussen is one of the 3 cited polls.

I bet Bondi gets an Order to investigate them today.

I can't think of a more typical, average politician than Biden.

So of course he was better, by far. I think he probably could have come back from that bad first debate if he hadn't been forced out. Those who advocated for that need to accept they're at least partly responsible for what ended up with.

Biden was hands down better. n entire universe better.

People soil themselves by association with Trump. That only becomes more obvious.

I've wondered why some people choose to sit in Trump's bowel movements, but concluded there is no fancy reason for that.

The simply enjoy the smell.

Biden was "bad" because right wing media told them he was bad

Biden wasn't good or bad.

He simply lived through his term - which, compared to Trump actively destroying the nation, was in fact better.

The lies never cease but I must admit they're getting more and more hilarious.

"Trump's crumbling administration is living proof that the best way to convince voters to elect Democrats is to let Republicans run things for a year. If anyone in Trump's White House is actually getting any work done, they've done a good job hiding it from the public."
