  1. Trump has tried to take credit for Obama's economy since taking office, because he thinks half of his low informed base will believe it and the other half is complicit with the lie. Trend lines for the past ten years tell otherwise. Federal fiscal year end just passed on 9/30/18. It doesn't take place in January or when a President takes office. This means from 1/2017 to 9/2017 Trump was under Obama's last budget. The only effect Trump had on 2017 economy was an increase in spending in May that drove budgets deficit up by 80 billion, to 666 billion fiscal year end 9/30/17. No legislation or regulation cuts has had an impact on jobs. Tax cuts for middle and lower class along with small business were no different then the ones under Obama and Bush, and only stimulated the economy for short time periods. Previous tax cuts came with deficit reduction under Obama, but with Trump and Republican fiscal irresponsible tax cuts for the extreme rich and corporations while increasing spending our deficit this last week at year end was over 800 billion. We will be back to a trillion dollar deficit by this time next year. Monthly average job number are down under Trump compared with Obama's last 18 months in office. Consumer confidence in that time have gone from 95 to 98, so only a bump. Obama can back up his statement like it or not, but prove it with facts and not feelings and thumbs down.

  2. Sorry to tell you Peter, but Trumps regulation cuts didn't effect current jobs as most of Obamas regulations that would have an effect on jobs were in the future. In many cases companies who ran cost benefit analysis will lose money under Trumps regulation cuts. Keep feeding that false narrative Fox.
