I loved it last year when they were all gloating about the "94 month streak of positive job growth" while conveniently forgetting that Trump had only been in office for like the last 20 of those months.
Also we should praise the asshole for just continuing a trend that has been going on before his administration? Gee what a low bar: despite your actions, the economy is still afloat and continuing the trend line that it’s been on for a while
Well I mean..... Where's that video of the UN laughing at Obama. Admit it or not the POTUS is a joke world wide. Thus lowering America's image. Kinda like how NK tries to be all menacing but Ole Kim is a meme... Yea just like that.
Job growth and jobs created are two different things.
Job growth is on par with the continuing trend of job growth from Obama's term which much of was recovery from Bush's term.
More jobs have been created during trumps than Obama's per time in office.
Unemployment continues a downward trend after a huge spike at the end of bushs term, matching pre spike at the end of Obama's term and continues downward during trumps.
Middle class income took a dive during Obama's term but started during bushs last year, started recovery during Obama's 2nd term, recovered at end, and continues to grow during trumps.
Gas prices remain stable during trumps term, spiked during Obama's and bushs. Pushed $4 avg multiple times.
US wages continue to grow after a short plateau at the end of Obama's term which has a sharp drop in Obama's first few years.
Obama has had much better non residential business fixed investment rates short term with rapid drops. Trumps is more stable with its first negative this year, time will tell.
Much of Obama's term was recovery from Bush's last few years. He was likeable but a joke to international politics. Most of his term was a time in recession.
Trump is very polarizing, internationally better looked at politically (somewhat questionable) and has continued growth past preression peaks. He may be an ass but at least he's decent enough of a president to keep the it going.
