April 09, 2020 President Trump is Delivering Economic Relief to Working Americans

The latest jobs data make clear that American workers and families are facing an unprecedented crisis due to the global coronavirus pandemic. President Trump is continuing to take decisive action to get middle and working-class Americans the economic relief they need now, including:

Direct cash relief for every American citizen earning less than $99,000 a year.



for every American citizen earning less than $99,000 a year. Expanded unemployment benefits for working class Americans who lost their jobs.

President Trump knows what it takes to get America’s economy roaring again. For the past three years under his watch, workers benefited from strong wage growth – including for the lowest-wage earners – and a historic job engine that drove unemployment to record lows for Black Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women. He has successfully renegotiated trade deals that put America’s middle-class workers first.

Joe Biden, on the other hand, would be the absolute worst choice to lead the economy out of this crisis:

Under Biden’s watch, the United States suffered through the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression.



Under Biden’s watch, job growth averaged just 110,000 jobs per month, wages grew at a paltry average of just 2.2%, and the average unemployment rate was 7.4%.

Even amid the unprecedented global coronavirus crisis, Biden is still promoting a radical, left-wing agenda that would hurt wages, harm families, and kill jobs:

President Trump spent the past three years supercharging America’s economy, creating record-low unemployment and strong wage growth that benefited all workers.

Americans will have a choice in November: stick with President Trump’s winning playbook for record-setting prosperity, or go back to Biden’s tired, old policies that resulted in the worst economic recovery in modern American history.
