What He Said
"We have the best economy in the history of our country.
⚠ FALSE
Context
Trump repeatedly made this claim during rallies and public statements throughout 2019 and 2020, including at the State of the Union address in February 2020.
The Truth
By standard metrics like GDP growth, unemployment rate, and stock market performance, the economy under Trump did not surpass previous periods. The U.S. experienced stronger GDP growth rates in the 1950s and 1960s, and unemployment was lower in the late 1960s and in 1953. The claim lacks support from economic data and historians.
