Let's face it, Biden will never catch up with Trump by November
Biden will never catch up with Trump by November. It’s an impossible task.

In order to catch up with Trump, he’d have to:

Get rid of the nearly 20 million jobs added since he took over
Crash the stock market, driving it down by at least quarter
Sell out our country to Putin
Increase the deficit by more than any other president
Launch an assault on the Capitol aimed at killing members of Congress
Singlehandedly ruin our relations with our NATO allies
Lose a billion dollars in one year — literally more than anyone else in America
Go bankrupt 6 times
Ignore a plague killing thousands daily
Sexually assault multiple women (and brag about it on video)

All this in 8 months? It’s impossible.

Stole this from Daily Kos:

I think he’s done most of that, and some more that they haven’t listed you forgot to add sold out to the Chinese. The disgraceful exit from Afghanistan, ruining the economy, enriching himself and his family at the expensive America.

That's a long winded way of saying Biden's already done that but ok.

Get rid of the nearly 20 million jobs added since he took over In the real world, these "added jobs" were simply the recovered jobs that had been lost during states' Covid shutdowns, a recovery that had started before the second half of 2020, before Biden came into office.

This chart from the St. Louis Fed, https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1/ , is for US Gross Domestic Product rather than unemployment, but it suffices to show that the US economy started recovering in mid 2020, not early 2021 when Biden was President. The scale can be changed, for example, to 2020-01-01 in the start box and 2021-01-01 in the end box, which shows what happened in 2020.

Crash the stock market, driving it down by at least quarter In the real world, the stock market had fallen during the first half of 2020, because Covid, and had started recovering before the second half of 2020, before Biden came into office.

Similarly changing the Range of this chart to 5Y(ear), https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/index/DJIA/advanced-chart , shows that the Dow started recovering in the first half of 2020.

Sell out our country to Putin In the real world, Putin did not feel invading Ukraine until after Biden was in office. The supposed "Trump-Russia Collusion" was proven a delusion by and FBI investigation and the Mueller shamvestigation.

Increase the deficit by more than any other president In the real world, Biden has already done that.

Launch an assault on the Capitol aimed at killing members of Congress In the real world, that did not happen. However, police prevented an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh after Dems threatened USSC justices.

Singlehandedly ruin our relations with our NATO allies In the real world, Trump arm-twisted NATO countries into boosting their defense budgets, and those countries are again boosting their defense budgets because of the possibility Trump will again be elected President. Biden's anti-Israel mal-administration, on the other hand, made Hamas bold to invade Israel and kill, rape, and abduct Israeli civilians, believing Biden would arm-twist Israel into another cease fire that Hamas would not honor. And after a couple weeks' delay, Biden has been doing just that, for over 4 months!

Lose a billion dollars in one year — literally more than anyone else in America In the real world, defending himself and his businesses from Dem/Prog slander and Dem/Prog partisan lawfare has been expensive.

Go bankrupt 6 times In the real world, Trump has never personally declared bankruptcy. While 6 of Trump's businesses have declared bankruptcy, that is significantly different, a difference Daily Kos ignored, unsuprisingly.

Ignore a plague killing thousands daily I'm assuming this is an allusion to Covid. In the real world, Trump's Administration started taking decisive actions in January 2020, within days of the world learning (by leak) Covid existed. Some links are broken, but here's at least some of what was done in January and February 2020, https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,412484.0.html and https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,412485.0.html . I'm mildly surprised that Dems/Progs would recycle this lie, since it is so easily disproved, but deception based on people forgetting the truth is a standard Dem tactic.

Sexually assault multiple women (and brag about it on video) In the real world, Trump did not say in that video that he had "grabbed women's _____s. This can easily be learned from this transcript of the video, https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37595321 . The context is crude, but "You can" is not "I did". OTOH, in the realm of things that did happen, https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2014/08/01/biden-swims-naked-upsetting-female-secret-service-agents-book-claims .

Well said. I wish I had a projector GIf to use here since that is what the Left is doing.

I'm definitely not a genius, so if even I can detail the systematic falsehoods in that DK gotcha-article it just shows how stoooooopid those falsehoods are.

[ADsOutburst]

It would be difficult for Trump's foreign policy to be as impressively bad as Biden's.
