More than half the negatives you mentioned were a direct result of COVID lockdowns, not Trump’s economic policies. Also, the way the unemployment rate is measured doesn’t necessarily mean more people have jobs, it just means fewer people are looking for jobs. It could mean more people are working, sure, but it could also mean lots of people aren’t looking for employment, and given all the labor shortages, I’d hazard a guess on the latter.
