LOCKDOWN | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
This is dumb. You're dumb.

Unemployment 1 month post lock-down was way way up because businesses were required to shut down. Unemployment is down now because the lockdowns are mostly over.

DJIA down during lockdowns, and up after lockdowns ended.

yes, and gas prices were down because of the lockdowns and lack of demand. There is no other point in Trump's presidency that they were as low as they were one year ago. This meme is a direct response to the "Biden has driven up gas prices" memes that are out there. They lack context and ignore the cause.
