“For the record, Trump’s GDP stats in his first year mirror almost exactly Obama’s in his second term.”

When did GDP ever go over 3% under Obama?

WHEN????

I think there may have been some months when it did, but never any year long GDP figures.

That is my understanding, though I could be wrong. I'm semi retarded.

And since when is GDP the only measure of a healthy economy?

Creative bookkeeping.

A few quarters were shown to be above 3%. Then, the next quarter would be dropped to .5%. Average that out, and the prior quarter would have been way below 3%.

To Obama and democrats, 3% was the magic number, so, manipulating the numbers to make it look like the economy was good at times, was their way of convincing people that the economy was on the way to recovery and doing well.
