Trump & his supporters want credit for the economy after calling it fake for years

[TRS]

He's not taking credit, he's getting the credit he deserves.

We will all be getting the inflation you deserve soon enough.

Lowest unemployment #'s in 50 years. I don't think that's fake tbh.

I didn't call it fake - Trump did - many times, feel free to check the quotes. I was just pointing out how they were fake before they became real.

Regarding the rate, pretty easy to do when you are handed a low UE rate by your predecessor - which apparently were fake.

Quality of jobs is debatable plus I'm not sure how truly good the US economy is when the government is running a massive federal deficit. Something doesn't add up. If everyone was making 1990s type money the tax revenues would cover most of the federal expenses. Like in Canada right now where all federal deficit is quite small on a prorated basis. Plus we have our own lowest unemployment in decades which is also of questionable value when the quality of jobs and job security is not good for many.
