During a speech at a Maryland college on Thursday, President Biden took a dig at former President Trump, highlighting that Trump was one of only two presidents to leave office with fewer jobs than when he started.
In an attempt to promote his economic plan, “Bidenomics,” which aims to build up from the bottom and middle, Biden coined a new nickname for Trump: Donald “Hoover” Trump.
Biden stated, “Folks, it wasn’t that long ago we were losing jobs in this country. In fact, there were only two presidents in American history with fewer jobs the day they left office than when they started. One was President Hoover, and the other was Donald ‘Hoover’ Trump.”

Reports from the Labor Department revealed that there were 3 million fewer jobs in the U.S. when Trump was concluding his term compared to his Inauguration Day in 2017.
Although Biden’s management of the economy has received mixed reviews, he is actively campaigning for a second term in 2024, much like Trump, and is relying on voter support for Bidenomics.
Biden emphasized, “Seriously, we’re living through one of the greatest job-creation periods in our history. And, folks, it’s not an accident. That literally is our economic plan in action. Bidenomics in action.”
