Biden versus Trump through Science

This study aims to provide an informative and unbiased scientifical comparison of the Biden and Trump presidencies for the American public, global media, and scholars. Using modern technology and utilizing official data sources from the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve, World Bank, and United Nations, the study ran hypothesis testing and Welsh t-tests on various societal indicators like war casualties and economic metrics like debt and unemployment. Empirical evidence suggested that debt growth and death tolls are better (lower) during a trump term, however in terms of unemployment the difference is not statistically significant, even though numerically unemployment is slightly lower during a trump term. Finally, a Million scenario analysis took place according to which financial prosperity in the United states is probable on the short term.
