Why address it? Let's check the GDP, employment, and wage numbers and compare them to Obama's. That's what really matters.
Oh, and my dream government would consist of every single person in DC doing nothing but playing golf every day, all day. I would gladly vote to fund that.
Yeah lets post the growth rates of GDP, unemployment and wages during both Obama's and Trump's terms.
Let me remind you Obama rarely took credit for the stellar performance of the economy when he was President, and rightfully so because others had something to do with that. Your boy Trump has a very different attitude however and seems to believe he made all that happen.
I'll do the honors:
GDP - Obama: took it from -0.3% in 2008 to 2.1% in 2016, that's a boost of 2.4%. Trump: took it from 2.1% in 2016 to 2.5%, a much lower boost of 0.4%. Clear winner there
Unemployment - Obama: took it from 7.8% in the beginning of 2009 down to 4.8% to end of 2016, that's a 3% improvement. Trump: took it from 4.8% down to 4.1%, a 0.7% improvement... Obama crushed him there too. Next
Wages, measured in Nominal Wage terms - Obama took it from 3.6% to 2.5%, a reduction of 1.1%. Under Trump that number has stayed flat, so he wins that one. I don't need to remind you we had a devastating recession so I give Obama a pass on that.
Look at those GDP and Unemployment numbers. Please shut your mouth or do some homework before posting nonsense.
Let's see where we are after a few years of Trump's policies.
