Trump's economic track record is also under the microscope, with economists evaluating his time in office and the effect some of his policies have had on the American people.

The economic disruption of the coronavirus is comparable to the havoc wrought by the global financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, and will be at the forefront of voters' minds when they go to the polls in November.

A Gallup poll conducted in October found that nearly nine in 10 registered voters considered the presidential candidates' positions on the economy"extremely" or"very" important to their vote.released this week showed that more Americans believe the president's economic policies are hurting rather than helping the recovery. This was a significant drop-off since the start of the pandemic.

"We had such a strong foundation that we're recovering much faster than anybody anticipated," President Trump said of the economy at a recent news conference.

The greatest Nobel Prize economist, Milton Friedman, strongly disagree would disagree.

Who cares I can find one that thinks he is doing a great job.

dwh112655 realDonaldTrump trump doesn’t know anything about Nobel peace prize

Rosie_wearamask I an not a Nobel Prize economist, but I have minor in economics and I agree trump truly has been and is a disaster for our economy.

Stiglitz: 'Remember that Trump reduced taxes for billionaires and companies in December 2017 and, in the same law, raised them for most of the people in the middle, which is the one who has been struggling in the last 40 years,'

Trump has been the BEST president these United States has ever had

You got that right.

Shocker.....

Fool

sasyecat WTH...he’s been a disaster AT EVERY THING!!.... AND A DISGRACE TO AMERICA!! 🔥 He’ll be gone soon!!... VoteBidenHarris2020 🤘🏽

Okay so sorry about that. But, I think you made some money?

I'm surprised to see something accurate out of Newsweek.

Let's put an end to all the crazies, out of these deep red gerrymandered districts. Register as a Republican and vote in every primary for moderate Republicans. Once into the general vote the best candidate. Let's take America back from the crazy.

We know

This is why 👇🏿

don't need any prize to know that

And then?

Nobel prize don't mean shit, Obama got one.

Stiglitz? A practitioner of 'the dismal 'science' ' ? (Thanks, Thomas Carlyle)

paulapoundstone Ok, now tell us something we don’t know

It's the typical liberal mainstream media anti-Republican narrative. No, the economic problems have been caused by shutdowns and business operation restrictions, mostly by the Democrat controlled areas and governors, that has damaged the US economy.

I would agree with that. Had Trump been smart about handling Covid from the get go and put rolling closures in placed where the virus is spiking, enforced mask wearing and social distancing, we might have had a chance. But we lost the window to control Covid months ago.

Stiglitz is right. It is a supreme irony that Trump's economy has slammed the struggling middle class voters who supported him in 2016 and further exacerbated wealth inequality. All at the same time he weakened the safety net. And this was before he bungled the covid response.

pass it on for all of the people who still have their heads in their asses and think that Trump's economy has been the best thing since bread and butter.

Trump's goal now is to sit back and watch the economic house of cards he built fall on Biden's watch. This is what Republicans do: increase the deficit, juice the economy for the wealthy, cheat, steal, then watch the collapse after being removed from office. It's 2008 again

In the Trump administration doctors, scientists, economists, psychologists are all obsolete and know nothing compared to him.

Just guessing long time Democrat, and like the rest of these Marxist, Democrats, claims against big corporations and billionaires is all a lie. High technology, China we love you Corporations and a bunch of billionaires buying attempting to buy the elections.

He even said that no doubt the economy had a boost by 2017 and of course somebody had to make sure we destroyed that COV 19. There is an agenda in place

Nobel prize-winners have political preferences too, don't they? 🤔

These Nobel Prize-winning f*cukwits are leading us to -ve interest rates. Thinks about it. At a time of very high inflation & asset prices like property soaring, -ve rates. Totally insane. Mad. Mad. They are mental.

F A K E !!!

You didn't have to be a nobel prize winner to figure that out it was just a way for him to set up his family.

F A K E!!!

Ya think?

Yeah but Trump knows better, he's the expert in everything 🙄

Yes, a disaster, micro and macro economically, in my opinion, as well.

Truth

We know that. Doesn’t take a Nobel laureate to figure that one out.

🤭🤭🤭

The world is watching... the world is laughing

Didn’t realize Pete Townshend got a Nobel Prize. Won’t be fooled again.

Stop lying.

no shit sherlock

got that right

I wonder if anyone from Trump University was up for an actual Nobel? Or, as they call it, Noble. It's all good. You can nominate anyone for the Noble...maybe even the Nobble. Might as well go big...

Geezzz, you think!

China propaganda

BULL SHIT

No shiiiiiit?

The whole field of 'macro economics' should be cut. Entire economics profession dom, by 'what do you want the answer to be' then we get data to support types of personalities, Put focus on Wharton finance, real measurements and immutable supply chain metrics - inventory flow

Before COVID Trump had economy in United States near the best ever. This is a person who hates Trump

Trump said: American Economic is first, not Globalists' economic.

How’s that exactly?

Yes 3.5% unemployment was horrid. STFU.

It is long past time to be bluntly honest, you vote for Trump, you're: Anti-American values Anti-patriot And Blantantly Anti-Christ’s teachings Trump has defined himself; his fate is cast. You vote for him you’ve sunk your fate with his.
