Well, that’s not true.
These 2 pictures above show that Trump has not changed the rate of decrease of unemployment compared to Obama. Although, trump did double the deficit and increased spending back to 2009 levels for that 1% drop

trump did such a good job. He took a trend that was already happening and…continued it. So much better than Obama.

It took Obama 8 years to get from 8-10% unemployment to 4.8%. It only took trump 1 day after he was sworn in to get there. Take that lib.

AGAIN, all I heard from the left and from the never-Trumpers is how his policies would destroy the economy.
OBVIOUSLY that wasn’t the case at all. His economy is splendid and he will be running on it in 2020.

HAH!!
Like the Dems are going to be fiscal hawks and reign in spending.
DO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH.
Let’s cue up the Green New Deal, for starters. Then we go on to free college for all. How about Medicare for all? Then let’s get into reparations…How about a multi-billion dollar train from LA to San Francisco? That was fun while it lasted, wasn’t it?
Need I go on???

Which doesn’t change the fact that he hasn’t really done anything.
I can give you 1.013 trillion reasons why Trump and total Republican control for the first two years of his presidency were not the greatest.
Can you give any evidence to support how out of control spending has ever been good for us?
Remember 00-06?
Because he didnt pass any of his policies. See the OP. Although, he did pass tax cuts which blew up the deficit and didnt change any of the economics. See the provided charts. Once again you fail.

What are your thoughts on Trump doubling the deficit to $1trillion and returning spending to 2009 levels? (At full employmemt)
You are confounding success with absence of failure
Trump didn’t crash the economy, those who said it were wrong. The economy is following the same trends it did under Obama
Those things are mutually exclusive. But you knew that.

No not really. Fed hiked rates .25% ONCE in 2015. And once in 2016. Last two years of obama’s administration. Esentially Obama was trying to get the economy going with the lowest rates.
Now in Trumps first two years, the rate was hiked 6 times AND it’s still steaming along.
No, the economy picked up after Bamma left office – despite everything the Dems and leftwing media have thrown at the nation (you know the 93% negative reporting).
It is almost like Trump did not do anything at all, yet takes credit for…something. Probably like his golf game.
Obama didn’t have the luxury of a large debt fueled stimulus package the last two years either.
And the economy is about the same now as it is in 2015, which I’m told by a great many conservative voices was a total disaster.

So continuing what Obama did.

Obama controlled the Fed?
It is true there was a small uptick in the economy after the tax cuts. That was expected. Not much since then. It could be argued the tariff game Trump is playing has actually hurt the economy. That and the uncertainty he causes by his changing his mind, on several issues.
Business hates uncertainty.

Nope. Just pointing out how well Obama’s economy did the last two years of his administration (2 rate hikes) compared to the first two years of Trumps economy (6 rate hikes).
Considering experts say the recession ended in 2009 and it took 6 years under obama to get the economy going enough for the first two rate hikes.
Now either Trump hasn’t hurt the economy – and in that case does it seem likely the Obama economy would suddenly take off to require the next 6 rate hikes, or trump helped the economy and the fed had to slow it down.
I’ll go with the latter thank you.
You’re being awfully narrow in this assessment.
