White House toots own horn as ‘one of most successful administrations in history’

The White House released a memo on Monday hailing the Biden-Harris administration as one of the most successful in history, despite the resounding rejection by the American people earlier this month.

Looking to put a bow on the actions of an administration that did little to help average Americans in their day-to-day living, the memo boasted that inflation is almost back to where it was before the Biden-Harris collaboration took over while claiming they “will be leaving behind the best economy in the world.”

“Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, 16 million jobs have been created, and we’ve gotten women and people of color back in the labor force at record rates,” the memo said, according to Fox News. “A record 20 million new business applications have been filed, and inflation is down to near pre-pandemic levels.”

According to the White House, the administration’s “success” was due to “passing and implementing legislation that rebuilt our nation’s infrastructure, made the largest investment in climate action in history, lowered prescription drug costs, and spurred a manufacturing renaissance.”

Critics would argue that the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill only added to the record inflation that beset the administration.

The “best economy” claim is tempered by the October jobs report, with the Labor Department showing “that just 12,000 jobs were created in October, far below estimates of up to 120,000 and were the lowest in four years,” Fox News reported.

Trump campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt argued at the time that “this jobs report is a catastrophe and definitively reveals how badly Kamala Harris broke our economy.”

The latest report on the housing market supports that assertion, suggesting Trump “is about to inherit a whopper of a recession.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on the social media platform X:
