And who will be the first pundit to say this was a result of the policies Obama had started?
This is my Cheshire Cat smile.
Mark Levin says it should be even higher if it wasn’t for the evil tariff war started by President Trump...
IIRC, years back....2.0 or 2.5 was the goal. I never saw where the goal...promoted by the economic experts....was ever changed.
CNNABCNBCMSNBCWAPONYT Headline: “Disappointing GDP numbers miss 5% estimate. Impeach Trump.”
Take that Obama!
Lots of Freepers were saying that everything Obama was doing to grow government and starve the private sector of liquidity and funding was prolonging and worsening the economic depression. And it WAS an economic depression. Numbers were faked to hide it, but so did the MSM. If a Republican had been president from 2009 to 2015, the bold above-the-fold headlines of the New York Slimes would have carried some daily version of “President’s Depression Worsens”, “Millions Hurting and Out of Work”, “Economy Collapsing under President”, etc.
Firing up the private sector to stimulate the economy was patently obvious, yet Democrats will never do it. No wonder they govern over so many depressions and recessions. They CAUSE them.
CNN headline will read “Overheated economy sparks fears of runaway inflation”.
Time to KAGA. Trump is making it look easy like he said he would.
MAGA, wonder how the Demoncrats will try to Poo-Poo this
Abra effing cadabra, Barrack! Follow the wand.
Watched this reported On CBS THIS MORNING, and my were their faces GLUM. NorDUH O’Donnell was underwhelming as they reported best economy in 18 years. John the effeminate guy fretted that it was too good and we will have problems, and Gayle just scowled.
Hey you, yes you, the guy who stated president Trump would need a magic wand to attain 4% GDP.
Now go and eat your peas.

Trump’s fault.
Don’t worry, Congress will ruin the economy with their new tariff bill that floods our shores with Chinese junk.
Oh? Is the economy a story? You wouldn’t know it from watching Fox News. All they can report is the “pressure” that President Trump is under to come up with something tangible from North Korea, and, of course, RussiaRussiaRussia.
Guess the talking points went out this morning. Booming economy? WHAT booming economy?
Obama would have personally vandalized railroad tracks if it was ever 4 percent under his rule.
Obama’s last quarter was a miserly 1.8% GDP growth in December 2016. The 2015 December quarter under Obama had an even more miserable 0,5 % GDP growth. Trump’s lowest GDP growth was the March 2016 growth of 1.2 %. Not surprisingly, that is the one GDP growth that was due almost entirely to OBAMA.
Praise the Lord. 4% is terrific. I pray that this strength will continue for years to come.
