You're kidding right?? Obama REKT what was left of the old pre-Obama economy, there was never a "recovery"

And no, unemployment is NOT 5% (yuuuuuge lie), otherwise 94 million Americans wouldn't be out of work (slightly under 1/3 of USA population)

Poverty up, crappy part-time McJobs up, food stamp usage up, welfare usage up, people "renting" up, student loan debt up, credit card debt up, drug addiction/coping behaviors up, stress up, misery up, depression up, happiness down, etc.... that doesn't sound like a "healthy" economy

That's quite the "legacy"

Yes, liberals will admit it. We don't have to worry about it though because any president who worries about the press getting the numbers of his crowd wrong is too obsessed with such pettiness to do much good for the country. Trump is a baby and he hasn't shown any signs of growing up.

My question is, will liberals admit it if he actually does a good job?

Lets say the economy improves, we keep more jobs in America, American optimism and pride increases like it did under Reagan, we avoid getting into more wars, in short, he does a good job as president.

Do you think liberals would admit it or give him credit?
There's as much chance that he will do a good job, in the eyes of anyone among his numerous opponents, as a snowball would have in hell. If he actually accomplished all those things and then got down on his knees on national TV and begged for forgiveness for being such a colossal ass, some liberals might give him credit.

Heck, if he really does all that I'll give him credit. But I'll still hold my nose because he's such a douche.

I will give trump credit if he protects the environment and addresses climate change in a very proactive and effective way.
