It's Just Numbers

@hotel_liqu22549 @Linkin1319 @RpsAgainstTrump You making up things doesn't make my true statements false.

Obama never said that, but if you want to talk annual averages, Trump's is 1.6%. Theres two lies. During Donald Trump's first term (2017–2021), the average annual U.S. GDP growth was approximately 2.3% to 2.5% and President Obama's "new normal" refers to his 2010 warnings regarding a potential, enduring era of high unemployment and slow economic growth following the 2008 financial crisis.

Howard Lutnick: “I think we're gonna grow more than 5% GDP this quarter."

@WaltonRandie @SaraForTexLege @cooltxchick Shouting against the public record does not help you.

Your numbers mean nothing. You proved nothing other than you were conned and deceived… it was an FU to the American people! the American rescue plan and the inflation increasing act were done to pass the Green new deal and lie to the American people. In Joe’s own words, he admitted it.,

By far the most frustrating MAGA talking point is how somehow Joe Biden was responsible for GLOBAL inflation caused by a once in a lifetime GLOBAL pandemic, when the truth is, the policies enacted by Biden enabled the United States to recover faster than any other developed nation IN THE WORLD. Americans should’ve heard more about this. The solutions being put in place should’ve been loudly and frequently publicized. The effects of the messaging failure around this are not only still being dealt with today, but will continue to be felt for years to come, unfortunately.

@Gweipo77 @ewjohnson4 @cartierfamilyZ I did, which is why I made my comment.

@NumbersMean @ewjohnson4 @cartierfamilyZ Look up the numbers for January, 2021.

Legitimately infuriating. Whoever runs for president next must support whatever it takes to get this number down as low as possible.

@sokv33 @Oldglorycries @grok Says the person who changed the topic and then accused me of changing it back to the original topic.

@NumbersMean @Oldglorycries @grok Lol…. Learn reading comprehension

Is this is the same publication that told us there was going to be a Taylor Ham shortage during COVID? @grok

@sokv33 @Oldglorycries @grok By your logic, you changed the topic.

@NumbersMean @Oldglorycries @grok 😂 why would I Typical liberal move, change the topic I paid over 5 when obama was president. The end

@sokv33 @Oldglorycries @grok You didn't answer the question.

@NumbersMean @Oldglorycries @grok Memorial day weekend. Driving to long island i paid over 5 when obama was president and there was no iran.. good bye

@GaltRand13 @__Cocoapuffxx @mjb9012 @IAmPoliticsGirl Facts are indeed stubborn things, which is why you chose not to use them, I guess.

Facts are stubborn things. Economic Growth (GDP) Obama (2009–2017): ~2.3% avg annual real GDP growth (slow post-2008 recovery). Trump 1st (2017–2021): Pre-COVID ~2.5–3.1%; overall ~2.3% (COVID hit in 2020). Biden (2021–2025): ~3.2% avg (strong 2021 rebound; later moderation). Trump 2nd (2025): Mixed—strong Q2/Q3 (~3.8–4.4% annualized), weak Q4 (~0.5–0.7%, shutdown impact); full-year ~2.1–2.2%. Early 2026 ~2% in Q1; 2026 projections 2–2.5%. Edge: Trump’s pre-COVID momentum and mid-2025 strength outperformed Obama’s average and Biden’s non-rebound periods. Deregulation/tax policies (e.g., OBBBA extensions) credited for investment boosts, though 2025 full year softened by volatility. Unemployment & Jobs Obama: Avg ~7.4%; ended ~4.7%. Trump 1st: Pre-COVID record low 3.5%; avg ~5.0% (COVID spike). Biden: Avg ~4.8%; low ~4.1% late term. Trump 2nd: 4.2–4.4% range (March 2026: 4.3%). Edge: Trump 1st pre-COVID lows standout. Term 2 maintains near full employment with private-sector emphasis and native-born gains noted. Real Wages & Household Income Obama: Modest (~$1k–few thousand over 8 years). Trump 1st: Strong pre-COVID; median household +~$4k–6.4k real. Biden: +~$2,150 median (~1.7–3%); inflation eroded gains. 2024 ~$83,730 (flat). Trump 2nd: Early gains projected from tax cuts/deregulation (+$4k–7k+ per worker via OBBBA estimates); momentum from low unemployment. Edge: Trump 1st delivered faster real middle-class gains. Biden offset by inflation. Term 2 too early for full data but policies target wage/after-tax boosts. Stock Market (S&P 500) Obama: +182–235% over 8 years. Trump 1st: +67–81%. Biden: +46–66% over 4 years. Trump 2nd: +16–18.6% in first ~15 months (record highs; 2025 ~17.9% total return) amid volatility. Edge: Trump annualized returns competitive/strong; Biden solid but lower total. Term 2 positive but early. Energy Independence Obama: Fracking boom; brief net exporter. Trump 1st: Sustained net exporter; peaks ~13M bpd. Biden: Record production but criticized for restrictions. Trump 2nd: Record ~13.6M bpd, LNG exports >100M tons, deregulation. Gas prices volatile (~$4/gal amid Iran events). Edge: Trump terms accelerated production, exports, and lower early costs. Records continue despite external shocks. Foreign Policy (qualitative/contested) Obama: Iran deal, Paris Accord; ISIS rise, Crimea. Trump 1st: ISIS defeat, Abraham Accords, NATO pressure. Biden: Afghanistan withdrawal, Ukraine invasion, ME tensions. Trump 2nd: Ukraine ceasefire efforts, US-Israel strikes on Iran (2026), transactional deals. Edge: Trump focus on “peace through strength” and deals; Term 2 assertive (Iran) + diplomatic (Ukraine), outcomes ongoing/debated. Immigration & Border Obama: ~400K apprehensions/yr; ~2.7M interior deportations. Trump 1st: ~310K apprehensions; wall/Remain in Mexico. Biden: Record 1.5–2M+ encounters/yr. Trump 2nd: Sharp drop to ~86–90K apprehensions; 443K–675K+ deportations + self-deportations; enforcement surge. Edge: Strong reductions and enforcement under both Trump terms vs. prior highs. Crime Rates Obama: Violent crime ↓ ~15–16%. Trump 1st: Mixed (COVID rises). Biden: Post-peak declines (murders -14.5% in 2024). Trump 2nd (2025): Sharp drops—murders -19–21% (record largest); violent crime -10%+. Edge: Accelerated reductions in Term 2, potentially historic lows.

Are gas prices the president’s fault…NO…unless that president starts a war in a place where 1/3 of the world’s gas comes from, then YES. It’s on him.

@sokv33 @Oldglorycries @grok And what did you pay this week.

@NumbersMean @Oldglorycries @grok It did in NY/NJ. I paid it

@sokv33 @Oldglorycries @grok Considering it didn't happen, no.

@Oldglorycries @grok Did everyone forget 5+ during obama’s tenure and that was with no “war”

@dogeit13 @LW1307 @ky_statesman @realDonaldTrump Why did gas prices go up when Obama left?

@LW1307 @ky_statesman @realDonaldTrump Incidentlly you forgot to adjust for inflation which which would make Obama's average 5.17 cents. Not including state taxes.

Congratulations @realDonaldTrump! You're the first President in my lifetime where it cost more than $100 dollars to fill up my [20 gallon] tank. I certainly didn't vote for this. 🖕

@JBHolmes18 @te_tucker @MKSRetired1 @TomthunkitsMind The numbers did work out for me. That's why you had no comment for them.

@NumbersMean @te_tucker @MKSRetired1 @TomthunkitsMind Love that you go silent, when the “numbers” do workout for you. Can’t wait to see this play out!

What IF, Obama did it?

@Gweipo77 @ewjohnson4 @cartierfamilyZ Hilariously false.

@ewjohnson4 @cartierfamilyZ When Biden took office, we had high growth (more than 5% GDP growth) and low inflation. Biden managed to dramatically reverse those two. Now things are getting better again.

@hotel_liqu22549 @Linkin1319 @RpsAgainstTrump Waiting on you to point out any lies from me.

Obama gave away as much money as he could literally get away with. From Day One. "Obamas Last Money Shower to the UN" was a headline I'll never forget. It was billions and mostly ended up in the Middle East being called "green projects." Just right under our noses. Media covered pretty well for him, and you guys were asleep or didn't care. He was redistributing our wealth.

@Cupofjoe1962 @OG_Wick0 Love that you are begging me to depend on the media like you.

@NumbersMean @OG_Wick0 Lying again? You really are a democrat 😂 You are just afraid to answer because partisan journalists are a joke & that’s all you got. Don’t you worship Joy Reed & Jake Tapper ? Maybe you are a Kimmel guy 😊 Either way, you don’t have the balls to answer

Imagine being able to do that. Trump could never do this. He’s too incompetent. Agree or not? 💬⬇️🤔

@utch_coolidge1 @Jeffrey28627067 @TenPointPG @Mark___Taylor Poor Butch got so embarrassed he found his safe space.

@utch_coolidge1 @Jeffrey28627067 @TenPointPG @Mark___Taylor Says the person who looked at this and said "see that increase after the Inflation Reduction Act!" as crumbs fell out of your mouth.

Pretty easy to see who started the gerrymander war. If republicans started it then democrats would have a bunch of states they could gerrymander to retaliate. But they don’t, because they’ve already gerrymandered most of their states.

@shaw3abi @Nblock6481 @EvanKatebv2bf @GailGioviano @JD_Vance_Q1 So it waited on Trump to increase.

@NumbersMean @Nblock6481 @EvanKatebv2bf @GailGioviano @JD_Vance_Q1 Oh I know what your talking about, it just seems your not good how real economics work. It takes a year or so for the inflation that’s caused by government overspending to hit consumers in their wallets. Bottom line you will never reduce inflation by spending more borrowed money

The greatest enemy of the United States? A. Russia B. Islam C. Democratic Party D. Iran E. Trump

@Cupofjoe1962 @OG_Wick0 Says the person whose argument was "Dear Leader says I can just say 'fake news' and make it all go away."

@NumbersMean @OG_Wick0 That’s all you got? So much for that knowledge 😂 Coward !

@Cupofjoe1962 @OG_Wick0 LOL

@NumbersMean @OG_Wick0 Why not give me your opinion on the democrats propaganda machine? Do you believe the stats the democrats provide?

@shaw3abi @Nblock6481 @EvanKatebv2bf @GailGioviano @JD_Vance_Q1 I'm talking about the increase, little buddy.

@NumbersMean @Nblock6481 @EvanKatebv2bf @GailGioviano @JD_Vance_Q1 Inflation started happening long before that, what world have you been living in

@shaw3abi @Nblock6481 @EvanKatebv2bf @GailGioviano @JD_Vance_Q1 So it waited until Trump went to war against Iran to go up?

@NumbersMean @Nblock6481 @EvanKatebv2bf @GailGioviano @JD_Vance_Q1 I believe you need to check your stats, inflation doesn’t happen immediately when they spend trillions of borrowed dollars, but the 20 to 30 percent inflation that we’ve all seen is directly related to that act. Economics 101, borrowing money at that rate deflates your currency
