Your own figures destroy your assertion that Obama did better than Trump. Obama for 8 years averaged 1.62% growth while according to your numbers Trump averaged 2.8%. MUCH, MUCH better than Obama.Lol I love you now say you can’t trust the government with jobs numbers AFTER you had talked about Trump’s job numbers. Gee what a convenient reversal!
As far as GDP goes:
“How Trump Compares: Overall, U.S. GDP growth has averaged about 0.95% during Trump’s first term in office. Here’s a look at how that GDP growth stacks up to his predecessor, President Barack Obama:
In his eight years in office, U.S. GDP growth averaged 1.62% under Obama, about 70% higher than Trump’s growth rate.
- 2009: -2.5%
- 2010: +2.6%
- 2011: +1.6%
- 2012: +2.2%
- 2013: +1.8%
- 2014: +2.5%
- 2015: +3.1%
- 2016: +1.7%
Trump growth rate:
- 2017: +2.3%
- 2018: +3%
- 2019: +2.2%
- 2020: -3.7%”

With the presidential election less than a week away, Americans are weighing the two presidential candidates and choosing which is best for the country over the next four years --if they haven't already voted.One way they can do that is by looking back on the first term of President Donald Trump...finance.yahoo.com
Keep in mind that Obama inherited a massive recession from Bush and he still turned it around 6 months into his presidency.
