What he fails to say is its great for the 1%ers, not the rest of us. Remember the tax scam bill he and Republicans passed where 83% went to the top 1% , and it had cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in it. It's also costing us from less revenues from giving some 1%ers as much as a billion a year in tax breaks. Also he had them in their own companies buy back their own stocks for him driving the markets up shifting huge amounts into their pockets. Now with coved stimulus he has big corporations get their huge sums, and has the federal reserve print up trillions to prop the markets up , for political gains for himself to claim how great it's doing, when we get stuck with additional debt of trillions, and he took care of them first. Now he and McConnell are stiffing the American people stalling us from getting any help. How can the economy be great with 50-60 million out of a job, or 50% of small business has gone out of business for good? How come he's lying about the real unemployment numbers, which is over 26%. It's all another trump con just like he's trying to claim about health care, when he has cut millions off from their health care plans, and actively trying to cut off millions more, while he lies telling you the opposite. In Feb. we were already in a recession before coved, farmers were going bankrupt and committing suicide at record levels, and a reason why he used our money to pay them off. If the economy was so good why did he have to use a trillion dollars to prop the markets up? Because he knew it was about to collapse on him, and could use it as a claim the economy was great. It's all a con job with trump, and the republicans are right there backing these false claims up. Vote the liars out of office or we'll be standing in soup lines soon.
