As we previously reported, the jobs report came out today and it was a disaster for the Biden regime. Not only was it bad, it was so much lower than what they’d predicted it would be, Axios described it as the biggest miss in the history of the report.

Their reactions to it immediately showed they had no understanding of what the problem was or why it was so bad — that at least in part, one has to consider that people are not returning to work because of the extension of the unemployment benefits. As Charles Payne observed, the jobs are there, but if the government is subsidizing you with a check, you don’t need to go after the jobs.

Congratulations President Biden – you have achieved the progressive utopia. At least 7.4 million job openings but only 266,000 people got a job last month. pic.twitter.com/VfBNwaZfPe

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain went all in tweeting favorable media spin that suggested they needed to spend even more. Biden himself gave a ridiculous response, “Today, there is more evidence our economy is moving in the right direction.” He also claimed that paying people not to work with taxpayer dollars was doing nothing to inhibit job growth.

Under President Donald Trump, unemployment was dropping. Pre-pandemic, people spoke of the amazing economy and things like record low black and Hispanic unemployment.

But now, under Biden, the government is spending like there’s no tomorrow, pouring out money. Here comes the inflation. It’s so obvious that even CNN has to admit, “It’s coming.”

CNN's @ChristineRomans: "If you haven’t felt it yet, it’s coming. You can expect higher prices for toilet paper, diapers, soft drinks, plane tickets, a tank full of gas. Whirlpool is raising prices of some of its appliances by up to 12% …" pic.twitter.com/02JnIf4b4s

So Donald Trump Jr. compared Joe Biden to Jimmy Carter.

Biden isn’t the next FDR he’s the next Jimmy Carter.

The comparison is both apt and concerning since anyone who was alive during the time of Jimmy Carter, knows what a horrible president he was and how he was completely at sea when it came to dealing with the economy and the rampant inflation.

So, so many out there weren’t even alive in the 70s and truly don’t understand how bad Jimmy Carter was as a President. pic.twitter.com/wAOOXnjo3g

There was even the infamous “Malaise Speech.” Now that I see that, Carter even reminds me of Biden.

But perhaps as an example of how ignorant some on the left are, they appeared to not know or memory-hole all of that history and attack Trump Jr., while praising Carter, claiming that he built houses for people and won the Nobel Peace Prize. He built houses post-presidency for Habitat for Humanity. But while he was president, he was a horrible president.

Trump Jr. pointed out how ignorant they were of history.

Anyone who is supposedly "confused," by my below tweet should probably read the awful Biden job report out today, then take a peek at the rising prices of raw materials that we're seeing and then finally google "Jimmy Carter inflation"….Things will make a lot more sense to you! https://t.co/ZJ6142EJIE pic.twitter.com/77bqHP2ubh

Plus, he noticed how Twitter was once again spinning in a liberal direction, rather than being straight with the facts, “The bullsh** description of the trend by
@Twitter is just more proof that they’re nothing but a Super PAC for Democrats,” he tweeted.

Is Twitter ignorant? Or is it, once again, just about pushing the narrative?

This is the way @Twitter works.

And the propagandists in DC are just as bad. pic.twitter.com/KxPh3y0X5i

No sane person who lived through the Jimmy Carter presidency is confused. https://t.co/2T7BGHmhs9

At least one Vox correspondent got it:

I can't believe I'm defending Donald Trump Jr., but the point of his tweet is that Carter was *not especially good at being president* — which is also a view a lot of historians of the period hold https://t.co/lAqg6Ng2UA
