Obama had the benefit of both Democratic Senate and the House for the earlier part of his term, where he recieved an $750 billion economic stimulus plan, and super easy Fed with TARP, QE1, QE2, QE3, near zero interest rates, and Fed balance sheet expansion of several trillion dollars. All for an amenic economic recovery by historical standards and a near doubling of the national debt. The reason why Obama sucked is because his regulatory policies and Partisanship caused businesses to hold back on hiring and capital investment.
Trump is kicking ass in spite of the Fed reducing their balance sheet, interest rates increasing significantly, and the fact we are late in the economic cycle because of his business friendly policies. Sure there are areas of weakness in our economy right now. Some of this is related to Trump’s attempt to normalize our trade agreements. Some is related to normal intra industry cycles. However, even with all this, GDP came in strong, especially for a late cycle number. In addition, if Trump succeeds in trade negotiations or in other economic initiatives, our economy could go into prosperity mode like 2004 to 2006 without the speculative excesses. Trump recently announced he has successfully attracted several hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign investment into the US.
As shown by all time record low unemployment rates for minorities under the Trump Administration, supporting Trump is good for our economy and all American people.
The economy is good because thats the way Obama left it.Even with a good economy Trump has increased the deficit from 600 billion a year to 1.1 trillion a year.
