Donald Trump promised to create 25 million jobs over the next decade. Joe Biden did almost half of that in two years.
Biden spoke on Friday about his record economy:
The President said:
I am pleased to report that the state of the union and our economy is strong. We learned this morning that the economy added 517,000 jobs in the last month alone. More than half a million jobs in January alone. In addition, we also learned that half a million more jobs were created last year than we thought, so the January report will be updated. I mean, excuse me, the December report is updated.
Taken together, that means we’ve created 12 million, 12 million jobs since I took office. That means we’ve created more jobs in two years than in any two-year presidential term. These are by far the strongest two years of job growth in history.

As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump promised to create 25 million jobs in ten years.
What really happened is that even before the pandemic, Trump never got close to those numbers. Trump ended his only term in office with the worst job record of any president since Herbert Hoover. Trump didn’t just come up short. He took the land in the opposite direction.
Do you remember all the jobs Trump promised to create? Biden creates them.
America’s future is bright once again.
