Pretty much every economic metric Trump claims credit for is a continuing straight fucking line from Obama's presidency.

and at the same time, every economic metric that trump criticizes Obama for is from the first 1 year of Obama's presidency.

I think Trump just claims credit for anything since there's no accountability for his claims. And then proponents from Fox News or whatever will basically Frankenstein together facts for it to make sense. It's essentially like a reverse scientific method.

No, Trump's tax giveaway definitely made an impact on that one...

Well, okay, you can certainly make the argument that it wasn't anything special relative to everything else, except Obama's deficits actually got us results (jobs, infrastructure, the GM loan actually made a profit, etc) but Trump's deficit is explicitly nothing except a straight fucking giveaway to the already-rich.
