evidence: President Donald Trump will leave office with 3 million less jobs than when he was inaugurated in 2017, marking the worst presidential job record since the Great Depression.

[...] No other president has seen such significant job losses during a single term since the government began keeping track in 1939. Trump was undoubtedly handed a difficult task when faced with the outbreak of the coronavirus, but economists have noted that his lack of leadership and slow response to the health crisis led to a much worse economic outcome than what other nations experienced.
