What He Said
"We have the best economy we've ever had in the history of our country.
⚠ FALSE
Context
Trump repeatedly made this claim throughout 2019 and 2020, including at rallies and in tweets during his presidency.
The Truth
This is false. By standard metrics like GDP growth, the economy under Trump was not the best in U.S. history. GDP growth in 2019 was 2.2%, far below rates in the 1950s and 1960s. Unemployment was low but not the lowest ever when accounting for broader labor measures.
