7. Joe Biden added over 300,000 jobs per month on average

For 48 months, he added over 14.6M jobs.

300,000 jobs was an average month for President Biden and all he got was grief on the economy. Trump added 120,000 for a whole fucking year and nary a peep from the media. But this report is too awful to ignore, expect it to dominate finance news today, and the markets will fall quickly.
