The economy did OK under Obama, but it is doing a lot better now. This is clear, based on numerous economic statistical measures. Cherry-picking one particular statistic, for one particular selected time period, doesn't change that conclusion.

cheers

I just produced data that says you're exactly wrong.

Are we supposed to just ignore data, and go by David in Cal's opinion???

I don't think so.

In fact, job growth is slowing down under Trump.
