    President trump touts the spectacular economic performance of his administration

    So, what are the numbers
    Typical metrics would include improved job growth or labor participation rate?
    I claim there is no improvement, and certainly not a spectacular improvement
    And so I assert there has been little difference in economic performance under this administration.

    Anyone care to dispute this?

    he really has not done much yet except encourage us to anticipate that pro business policies are coming. This is probably why markets are up after 8 years of Obama's anti business socialist policies.

    The Dow jones index has been going up since 2009 ... the rate of increase has not particularly changed

    100% absurd!!! and liberal!!! actually Dow is up 20% in 9 months since Trump was elected. If Dow had done that well since 2009 it would be 39,000!!!!!
    Also, Obama was an anti business ( "you didn't build that") communist who inherited an economy just after a huge recession and should have seen a huge rebound but saw very little thanks kto communism so there is no comparison to Trump's huge capitalist bump, and, Trump had no recession from which to rebound. Sorry to rock your silly liberal world!!
