Nope. Just the opposite. They can now claim that Obama handed Trump an economy already on the upswing. So all the success Trump is going to have they can now say, yeah, but Obama is the one who got it going.
Make no mistake, this is almost all Trump. There is a new and very palpable enthusiasm in this country right now. The fear gripping the market under Obama is vanishing and there is explosive optimism that is beginning to propel this economy.
Exactly.
Trump already saved 1000 jobs with Carrier, a feat just months ago Obama said couldn’t be done.
And there are the employees at that Ford plant that was going to move to Mexico.
And the stock market crash that didn’t happen on November 9. Instead, stocks soared to new heights.
Obama’s lackluster 1%-2% financial growth will pale in comparison to just one year of financial growth during the Trump administration.
