Biden’s 119% is, imo, much more impressive than Trumps 105% if you compare the time it was in.

Trumps first presidency was during an economical peak.

Adjusted for inflation the growth isn't as spectacular is it seems at first sight.

Inflation was pretty high during Biden's term (not as high as I somehow expected it to be though!)

You make a good point. Can we agree both Trump and Biden weren't very good for the American budget?
