GDP under Biden nothing special

Biden claims he has had record GDP growth.  That is only true if you look at it from an intellectually dishonest context.  

Biden's first months in office are following the pandemic shutdown, one of the largest economic drops in US history, and one where you would expect larger than average growth.  This is illustrated if you compare Trump after shutdown with Biden after shutdown.  This comparison shows that growth under Trump was dramatically higher than growth under Biden.

I'm not claiming growth under Trump reflects anything more than what might be expected after the large downturn.

I'm just claiming that I am tired of the intellectual dishonesty  of the Biden administration's braggadocious claims when, in fact,  they are nothing special.
