As we noted in our fact check at the time: "This is worth fact-checking because the average over three years is hardly comparable to a four- or eight-year average for other presidents." Imagine what the average will end up by the conclusion of Trump's term.

This is an example of how manipulated stats can backfire on politicians. You shouldn't be comparing yourself to full-term presidents before your term is up. Things can happen that make such claims appear foolish in retrospect.

It’s also an example of how it’s foolhardy for any president to brag about the state of the economy on their watch. They have little to do with broad economic trends, good or bad.

And my pandemic is going to be the biggest pandemic in the history of our country too! Tens of thousands will die! :-)

They know--but the agenda is blaming Trump for the virus.

Are you seriously blaming him for the economic damage of a worldwide pandemic? France just laid off almost 20% of their workforce with more coming. Is that Trump's fault too?

Glenn, this is embarrassingly silly. The statement was accurate at the time. No, it did not account for an unprecedented pandemic. Seems fact checkers should focus on things that are actually false, not facts that bother them.

Actually it was not accurate at the time. He was comparing himself to full-term presidents. That was the point of the original fact check. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
