So you're praising Obama for starting the recovery?  Look, you might want to see the President as being responsible for all parts of the economy but you also claimed that experts are also giving all the credit to Trump, which is not true.  The economic recovery started years ago.  

I'm not trying to change your mind.  I don't care if you want to give Trump credit for the moon landing in 1969.  However, what you said in the post I quoted initially is mostly propaganda.  Some numbers have improved under Trump, some have not--and almost all of it is largely inline with previous trends.  That is what experts will tell you.

Of course, we still have to see the tax revision will result in a spike, which would be credited to Trump, as would a deficit balloon if he is unable to offset the reduction in tax revenue.  

I didn't say the recovery is because of but the boom is definitely all Trump. I wanted to post this pic in this thread because I thought it was funny.

We haven't seen a boom, just a modest growth trend in some categories that's pretty much in keeping with previous trends.  We might see one with the tax revision but that hasn't come into effect yet.  Personally, I think we will see an increase in growth--as a former business owner, I'm a fan of reducing taxes in the business sector as long as Trump can make up for the lost revenue in a way that does not damage the country.  

The funny thing is, even the segments that were trending downward before are still trending downward under Trump--are you also going to blame him for that?  That's a serious question and I would like an answer.

As for the picture ... uh, okay?
