The stats are correct. But why? Uhh the massive GWB recession was going on when Obama took over.

Get back to me in January 2021.

Just two points...Obama inherited an economy that had dived off the Empire State Building and, after a great deal of work, turned it round.

Drumpf inherited an economy which was growing well. Thanks to Obama.

Trump has been in office two months (plus-minus). Any effect he has had has been disguised by Obama's policies.

And, of course, when everything starts cracking, it'll be Obama's fault.

No, President Trump, if you want to claim the current situation as being due to you, what follows is also due to you.

And President Hoover had a great economy but his economy is not remembered for how it started but how it ended.

No question Trump is leading Obama in number of ongoing investigations in the first quarter and number of proven lies- way over 300 for Trump so far (according to NYTimes) while in 8 years the only alleged "lie' by Obama was about keeping your doctor under ACA (which actually most of were able to do, while millions more were finally able to have insurance to afford having a doctor)
