So how is Obama responsible for the Trump economy?

[The Banker]

Ok Democrats. This is your chance to explain what you've been saying over and over, that Obama' policies are responsible for the great economy we're seeing now.

Just what did Obama do two years ago, four years ago, or eight years ago that's now causing such increased economic growth, low unemployment numbers, increased job growth, and increased consumer spending?

Please explain.

This is the big problem: There is not increased job growth, it is the same or slightly slower than under Obama. You listen to fake news so you are greatly misinformed.

All that has happened is that Trump borrowed Trillions of dollars and used it to prop up the economy to get slightly improved GDP (only 2 quarters of good growth) and Trump has continued job growth at the same pace as Obama.

Very few people say this is Obama's economy, the smart people say this small increase is caused by massive deficits and will just end in a big crash, like Bush. Keep in mind we have only had 2 good quarters of growth, Obama had 5 good quarters of growth, so we will have to see if Trump can sustain this or is it just a small pop with a big crash leaving us much worse off, just like with Bush.

SInce you're using "real GDP"

U.S.: real GDP growth by quarter 2011-2018 | Statista

Nine quarters over 3.5%. Trump...2

Obama 3 quarters over 4.5%. Trump...0

You don't go from -1% to +5% GDP growth in only one Quarter in 2014, like that idiotic chart showed. Where did they get their data?

The data comes directly from the Bureau of Economic analysis and is official.

So it took Obama 8 years before he could achieve a 4 million net job increase, and Trump did it in only 18 months?

Are really that stupid?

How does 18 months translate to 8 years dolt?

You're the dimwit if you can't figure that one out. Obama's job-creation was dismal. His economic growth was the worst under any other President. In other words, he was a failure.

Trump on the other hand, is managing to undo eight years of Obama's failed presidency, and thank God Hillary lost. She would have just continued the ruinous policies that Obama was failing with.

And like every other Democrat, you still haven't explained just what Obama was supposed to have done during his 8 years, that's creating the economy and job numbers we're seeing today.

You live in fantasy land, go get some facts. Go look at the jobs data from the bureau of labor... Obama created 15 million jobs, net 12 million when you take into account that Obama inherited a country losing 1 million jobs a month from Bush.

Trump has only had 2 good quarters of growth, so don't count your chickens before they hatch... Trump's massive deficits will lead to another recession and then we will be much worse off.

Oh Barry left him a fair hand but Trump has improved on it hugely.

 

[rightwinger]

With today’s economy, Trump was born on third base and brags that he hit a triple

As hard as the man works every day.....and taking into consideration the lazy fuck that preceded him....I can say with complete certainty that you're full of shit.

He doesn’t go to work before 11 AM

Uh....he's already tweeted a shitload of stuff before I get up at 5 am every morning, you fucking putz!!!

Tantrums are not work

Either way it a real good showing by Trump. Obama deserves some of the credit.

 

[JLW]

Obama left Trump an economy on the mend. Trump then gave the economy additional stimulus by his tax cut, however short term it may be. The Trump economy is what we are entering into now as his trade war, deficits, and Trump's own unstable behavior takes its toll. That toll is a shaky and tottering economy on the precipice of free fall.

But what did Obama do? We have definite actions Trump has taken to improve the jobs market and economy. But aside from some major spending bills which mostly poured money down a gopher hole, what did Obama do?

 

[Lesh]

Again...

4 million jobs created in the last 18 months of Obama's Admin

4 million jobs created in the first 18 months of the Trump Admin

Nothing substantive has changed (except the stock market tanking)

I agree but regardless Barry left Trump a fair hand. What he did I don't know.

The economy was probably recovering on its own. Finally after eight years.

What Trump has done aided the recovery big time. Trump has been a wonder and boy and I glad.

The economy was slowly recovering in spite of Obama's lame-brained economic policies. He was actually doing everything he could to hamstring business and industry, but good old American capitalism moved forward even without his help.

I get it. Under Obama the economy just recovered itself but under Trump, the economy recovers because Trump is the God of economics.
