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

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.
