You lying punk. That isn't US growth. That's global. You just lost all credibility. Get out of here.Oh bullshit. Show me.Unmitigated horseshit. Obama had several quarters which Trump has yet to match.It's growing much more than any point during Obama's failed ch fiasco. Democrats loved him.As he promised, Trump has turned things around. The declining deficit he inherited is now double what it was, and accelerating upward. Trump has submitted the biggest spending budget by any human in the history of the world.
The longest bull run in history which had eight years of momentum behind it has been turned around. Trillions have been lost as the Dow dives, thanks to Shutdown Tariff Man.
Elected on third base, Trump is trying to steal second!
For the Trumptards, I have created some numbered responses so you can save time with your excuses. Just tell us which number you wish to use as your defense.
1: Yeahbut Hillary!
2. Who cares?
3. Yeahbut Obama!
4. It's the Democrats fault Trump spends so much!
5. MEXICANS!
Excellent OP...but you forgot one thing...the deficit and GDP growth.
The one economic number Trumpbots have clung onto is the good looking GDP growth numbers.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
Last year, Trump ran a $1.3 trillion dollar deficit (all things being counted in). This year - so far - it is on pace for $1.8 TRILLION.

That goes into the economy...it adds to the GDP growth. Not at a 1:1 ratio...but still significantly.
So these wonderful GDP growth numbers Trumpbots are bragging about mean next-to-nothing when you factor in the added growth from the runaway deficits (which are nothing but unsustainable debt).
Bottom line - the economy is not growing REMOTELY as fast as Trumpbots or the GDP growth numbers indicate.
