See this is the manipulation I'm talking about. Every point you made is objectively false or misleading.
The 'economy' is a relative idea. For the lower/middle classes during Trumps pres, the economy was horrible. No upward mobility for employment, businesses going stale, I moved during this time to one of the most conservative states and you saw the exact same thing even before the pandemic. Empty buildings, reluctance to hire, stagnant wages.
Unemployment was already dropping in the US since the early 2010's and the continued trend towards low 'unemployment' was unrelated to the trump presidency. Not to mention that 'Unemployment' is just a metric of people collecting 'unemployment' and not an actual metric of who don't have a job. You can change the unemployment qualifications to kick 2 million people off of it and suddenly you have 'LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT EVER' it's just another manipulative trick they use to keep you in the herd while not helping.
Gas prices always fluctuate, last year they were the lowest we've seen in over 10 years, and rebounded once again after the pandemic subsided. So moot point there.
Wages were stagnant through the entire trump presidency and have BOOMED since Biden took office and fixed the pandemic shitstorm, in Montana they are advertising paying $14 an hour at TACO BELL.
You don't live in reality Conan, pay attention to the world around you.

Speak for yourself
Out of all metrics you cite 14$ an hour for an entry level fast food job, as if this is a good thing
This is not a good thing. This is a terrible thing. You're not supposed to make a living wage flipping hamburgers. It leads to this:

At 10 McDonald’s locations in Chicago, workers aren’t taking down customers’ drive-thru orders for McNuggets and french fries — a computer is, CEO Chris Kempczinski said Wednesday.

Not only that, but the price of that hamburger is going to skyrocket as the purchasing power of your dollar is in steep decline, due to out of control inflation under Biden. You get crushed from multiple angles because of bad government policy.
That wage is a direct reaction to Biden paying people roughly 15$ an hour to stay at home and sit on their ass doing nothing. It's an artificial labor market that can only be sustained by printing more money (Hello Bubble) and it's going to crash
