    All that gives is a bunch of right wing opinion pieces from two years ago saying great job trump. The liberal sites say it's neutral,Obama stabilized it and Trump hasn't screwed it up yet.

    Can you point to a single economic indicator whose trend line changed significantly after Trump became president?

    Unemployment has been on the same downward trend since 2010. No significant change under Trump.

    The stock market has been on the same upward trend (with a few blips here and there, but generally same trend) since 2010.
    https://www.macrotrends.net/1358/dow-jones-industrial-average-last-10-years

    The best year for the stock market under Obama (+26.50%) is better than the best year under Trump (+25.08%). The worst year for the stock market under Trump (-5.63%) is already WORSE than the worst year under Obama(-2.23%).

    So no, employment and the stock market are not doing better under Trump than under Obama. The trends are continuations of what started in 2010.

    Ummmm. NO

    Thats the textbook definition of a stimulus!

    You aren’t serious right ?

    You know that the lions share of Obamas stimulus was tax breaks right ?

    I could say it's Obama's and Trumps effort why the economy improves from it's slump state before and of course also the efforts of the people behind their policies that supported them, as always it's a concerted undertakings.

    And so, you agree:
    The recent stock tumble is The Obama's fault.

    That’s not tax cuts. Read it again. They are tax CREDITS:

    Tax incentives – includes $15 B for Infrastructure and Science, $61 B for Protecting the Vulnerable, $25 B for Education and Training and $22 B for Energy, so total funds are $126 B for Infrastructure and Science, $142 B for Protecting the Vulnerable, $78 B for Education and Training, and $65 B for Energy.

    Whatever the hell “protecting the vulnerable” means
