    Default "No, the economy didn't suddenly get strong under Donald Trump"

    "One of the biggest themes of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address — and one of the biggest themes of his reelection campaign — is that he inherited a weak economy from President Barack Obama and turned it into a strong economy by implementing his own policies."

    "Trump added, "if we hadn’t reversed the failed economic policies of the previous administration, the world would not now be witnessing this great economic success."

    "We looked at 15 common economic statistics, from unemployment rates to growth in gross domestic product to poverty, foreclosures, and bank failures. They cover the period of the Great Recession until today. Where possible, we’ve highlighted periods under a Republican president in red and periods under a Democratic president in blue."

    "The bottom line: For virtually each of these measurements, we found that the trend lines continued almost seamlessly from the second half of Obama’s presidency into the first three years of Trump’s tenure. Trump’s claim that he turned around a failing economy is wrong.

    Well if he did, which he didn't, he did it in a way that worked, and Trump is riding on the results he claims incorrectly is due because of Trump, shocking he took credit for something he had little to do with, what a surprise

    2016: 1.6% ANNUAL GROWTH. NO NEW MANUFACTURING JOBS. WAGES FLAT.

    2017: 3% ANNUAL GROWTH, THOUSANDS of NEW MANUFACTURING JOBS (now over 1.8 MILLION of them added), WAGES START UPWARD TREND THAT IS NOW THE GREATEST JUMP IN DECADES. LARGEST % of AMERICANS IN WORKFORCE SINCE THE 1950's...OBAMA NEVER CAME NEAR IT. MORE AMERICANS HAPPY WITH HOW THINGS ARE IN HISTORY. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE AT RECORD HIGH.

    SPARE US THE REVISIONIST BULLSHIT. OBAMA RELIED ON $12 TRILLION IN "PLAY MONEY" to KEEP HIS BULLSHIT AFLOAT, W/NEAR ZERO INTEREST RATES..AND WHEN QE ENDED, WE SEE WHAT HAPPENED, DON'T WE?
    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

    And let's not forget the FED had to bail him out for all 8 years with 4 QE's and a legal ZERO interest rate. Obama was awful.

    But at least the Dems have finally admitted that the economy under Trump is fantastic.

    The FED propped up the Democrat Obama.

    But the FED tried to sabotage Pres. Trump's economy for 3 years, WALT Trump suceeded despite the FED raising interest rates too fast.
    That would have killed Obama.
