One thing you do have to admit (although, from previous experience, I doubt if you will admit) is that this country was in very serious trouble financially when Obama took that office. You may not remember it, but I do. Foreclosures in record numbers, businesses failing at an alarming rate, jobs were few and far between, etc. Obama did what a good President should, he WORKED HARD and, eventually, things turned around.
Now, yes, there were some missteps along the road, there was no blueprint on how to do this Herculean task, but, overall, what he did worked, and it worked so well we are STILL enjoying prosperous times with a good, strong economy. Obama is a big enough man to admit it took longer and was harder than even he imagined.
If Trump would have taken over, worked hard every day to implement some programs that would have continued the job Obama started, then we could give Trump some credit for this "great economy". But tweeting all day and attacking others all night are not going to get anything done, and those seem to be the main focus of this man, who is in this way over his head and his intellect level.

The blueprint is from the early 1920s. We got out of that mini depression in less than 2 years. Taxes and government spending were cut by 40%. UE dropped from double digits to under 4.

Not the way I remember things.
I remember that the very same bankers that demanded the repeal of Glass-Steagall and unregulated derivatives were handed billions borrowed from China so that they could snap up distressed assets at fire sale prices and, when times improved, sell them back to us at full retail.
The end result was the greatest transfer of wealth from the working classes to the wealthy in world history.
As for Obama's recovery, throughout history the strength of an economic rebound was proportional to the severity of the recession that preceded it.
That all changed with the Obama slow-motion recovery.
There is a reason why we are in record economic territory now.
The deregulation of business and new tax policy under Trump is exactly what the economy needed.

Lol! Ok, I’ll bite, what “hard work” did Barack Obama do to turn the economy around?
The DOW grew 258% under Obama. The orange man is trailing badly.
When Obama took office the DJI was at 10,000. When he left the DJI was a little over 18,000 for a gain of 8,000 points over an 8 year span.
Trump has equaled that in 2.
