Trump promised to become "the best job president God has ever created."
But here is the grim reality for voters.
More Americans are unemployed today than when Trump came to power.
More Americans live on benefits.
For the first time, MSF is conducting humanitarian aid projects in the United States.
When I visited food distribution centers around the United States during the year, it was no longer just older models' cars whose drivers queued for hours for a sack of rice and frozen chicken.
In the queues I have seen cars from Porsche, Jeep and even Corvette.
The pandemic is eaten by the middle class of the United States.
Estimates from Columbia University indicate that the United States has up to eight million new poor in the United States.
Another survey points to six million new poor.
The president's defense that the corona pandemic - or "china virus" as he puts it - is what destroyed his otherwise very successful policies, is of course of some relevance and works on large parts of his electorate.
Before the corona pandemic, the United States had the lowest unemployment rate since the 1960s (not the lowest ever, as the president sometimes claims).
But does it work defensively for those families who right now can only afford one meal a day?
The United States has received six million new poor in the last three months, according to a study by the University of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame.
Or eight million new poor since the start of the pandemic, according to estimates from Columbia University.
More money in your pocket
When stimulus packages from the federal government and the states replaced each other this spring, many Americans suddenly got more money in their pockets than when they had jobs.
The states had increased their unemployment benefits, from the Trump administration came additional unemployment benefits and also a check for SEK 11,000 per person.
But the pandemic is expected to widen the gap in the United States even more.
When artificial respiration had the greatest effect, it kept 18 million Americans out of poverty in May.
The model citizens used the extra money to pay off debts, or to save for even tougher times.
But far from everyone did so.
J
ag has met Americans who used the money to buy a new computer, take the children on an excursion, or to treat themselves to new clothes.
They are the ones who are now falling into poverty, three months after the federal "oxygen tube", in the form of unemployment benefits, expired.
President Trump wants to see new stimulus measures but has so far encountered unexpected opposition from his own Republicans in the Senate.
But just as Trump can hardly take all the credit for the booming US economy before the pandemic, he can also not be blamed for the gaps that make the corona pandemic's economic consequences so devastating.
The cost of housing and healthcare is skyrocketing
Between 1978 and 2020, the salary of a typical American worker increased by almost 14 percent.
A typical CEO increased his salary by 1,167 percent during the same period.
At the same time, housing and healthcare costs have skyrocketed, as have young people's student debt.
Today, three out of four Americans say they would have financial problems if their wages were delayed for just one week.
So, while the severity of the economic crisis cannot be fully blamed on Donald Trump, it does lead to the perfect storm against the president's re-election campaign.
An unwritten rule in the United States is that a president is re-elected if the economy is doing well.
That Joe Biden points out many times a day that the US economy is suffering is therefore not surprising.
With only weeks left until the election, Trump therefore faces a monumental challenge - to turn public opinion, which is currently leaning in Biden's favor, while avoiding more Americans becoming poor, or dying from the virus.
