Obama was the first president in modern times to not achieve a 3% GDP growth figure during his time in office. Trump can manage 2.6% and that is with everyone in the deep state out to destroy him. Imagine what he could get done without these outside forces ready to wreck America just to eliminate Trump
Wall-Street also thought the economy was great under Bush...until it crashed

More so than that America-hating Obama. I personally feel very confident right now. Sorry you are being left behind.

Better than Trump's, so far:
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0..._view=net_1mth

Total jobs added first 7 months of 2017: 1290 thousand
Total jobs added first 7 months of 2016: 1372 thousand
Total jobs added first 7 months of 2015: 1624 thousand
Total jobs added first 7 months of 2014: 1694 thousand
Total jobs added first 7 months of 2013: 1334 thousand


So, each year of Obama's 2nd term has been better than Trump so far, through the first 7 months.

Trump mentioned that last night at his rally.. he knows there are people who dropped out of the work force and are not counted.. Obama never did.

If so, what do you have to say about Trump's numbers which are lower than Obama's?

They were never counted, and Trump is not counting them either.

Stagnant wages and slow GDP growth are still a problem though.
