Economy could be slowing down still yet to be seen

It is. Trump's annual GDP growth has been consistently lower than Obama's.

A lot of that can be attributed to growth naturally exploding after a crash, then settling.

It’s still in a positive direction

If Trump hasn't ruined everything, that's in virtue of not being a total fuck up, not that he's any sort of economic genius.

Trump definitely has a huge list of accomplishments I got banned for posting them all lol he has a record to run on and will be a very strong opponent in 2020 in my point to say trump doesn’t have many accomplishments is not true just as Obama has a number of accomplishments to run on back in 12

What has he messed up though

So what you're saying is that nothing can actually be deducted about trumps time in office?

So you're also saying there's no way to say he's been mishandling things then?

What has he been mishandling

Not in context of the gains he wants to take credit for.

Obama took credit for the economy when it was going well everyone does

I think having the longest government shutdown in history with nothing to show for it is a good start.

I think he's been doing fine but this guy is going through mental gymnastics becouse he's allergic to trump.

Obama took credit?

Longest government shutdown and economy doing good 🤔

As in, he didn't do anything but took credit?

That's what Presidents do. If the numbers are good, they take credit, if bad, they blame something or someone else.

That’s not what I meant

Oh, all right.

Oh wow who knew democracy was a hollow system that's a pure popularity contest, what enlightend insights

Obama took credit and through his policies no doubt had a direct impact after the failure of the economy under bush

Obama isn't President, so I don't really care to talk about him. This is Trump's reelection on the line, not Obama's.

He's gonna get reelected, just deal with it.

cool story

👍🏿

But now with the economy people keep saying well the economy isn’t working for everyone which is 100% true but that is true for every president to say it’s not working for everyone to not give credit to trump on the economy is sad

GG @Kenpachi, you just advanced to level 10!

You're talking to me, not other people.

So, should Trump take credit for continuing Obama's ascending economy?

No doubt he should he took Obama’s economy which was doing very well do to his policies and under trumps policies it has worked obviously there are other factors that can not be controlled but trump played a positive part no doubt

If the economy was in the ground everyone would say it was trumps fault

But isn't it also true that Obama had a tougher job in general?

Worst crash since the Great depression, yes he did.

Due to that, yes.

Yes I would say Obama had a very tough job after the recession so yes it was tough

Maybe harder

Hm, fair enough.

Trump has had half the senate after him for his entire presidancy

With FBI etc investigating him 24/7
