Yep. Back then, the numbers were "fake!" and so forth. Now, we're to pretend that the recovery that has been going on since about 2010 or so only started under Trump. It is such an obvious partisan lie, and it is a damning indictment of the far-right that they preach such a lie and choose to belief it.

And I remind you, job growth in 2017 was the slowest in several years. And GDP growth in 2017 was very 'meh' as well. Are you going to blame Trump for that?
Nope - that'll be Obama's fault. Watch - I guarantee that the next recession will be blamed on "Obama" even if it can directly be attributed to actions taken by Trump. The far-right has no shame when it comes to distorting these basic facts, sadly.

Economic cycles. Obama happen to come in at the trough of the cycle. What comes after a trough? A rise. It was bound to happen, regardless of Obama.

But here’s the thing, by 2017, the economy as predicted by the experts had peaked and was supposed to slow down and slide back down. Trump’s pro-business agenda is injecting so much optimism that it is re-energizing the economy and giving it more momentum.

Only to the people who had no intention of voting for him anyway.

Sour grapes I see.....

No, Obama was simply more positive than your negative boy Trump. America has ALWAYS been great, Obama just wanted to make it better. Trump, and some of his cult, seem to think America was in the toilet, and we, who love America, know we were always great. People from all over the world want to live here, and that should tell you something.

Trump got right into your heads with that stupid premise of MAGA, and you fell for it.

I take good news at face value. It is an excellent jobs report.

For those of you sitting at home without gainful employment, you are running out of excuses.

Not only did Trump bring back the market's animal spirits, he's slowly bringing back America's animal spirits, something that never could've happened under Obama.

Only by those with emotional issues. Most people want actual results they benefit from.

Well, see now, we DO agree on some things. Trump has certainly brought out the animal in some people.
