I won’t relitigate the specifics offered up by many economists who were skeptical of Trump’s growth claims — among them the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which said 4% growth “is nearly impossible to achieve over a sustained period.” The fact that politicians make almost naively optimistic commitments on the campaign trail is nothing new. And the fact that Trump lives in a warped reality all his own is pretty much the defining feature of American politics right now.

“Over a sustained period” which is still TBD.
Trumps gotten (or will get) 3% or more for three Quarters, which is a very good start.
The previous admin had a pretty good run Q2 2014-Q2 2015, with one quarter at over 5%. Of course, that was a lot of paper growth. And not sustained.
What would break things out are another 1996-2000 or 2004-2005.
It is amazing what true hope and change will bring a society unlike the lies and deceit pawned off as hope during the 8 years before the current administration.

Marketwatch and CNBC.com both provide useful data and occasionally interesting articles. For the most part both sites are infested with Socialists and Trump haters.
Can anyone suggest a useful website which is at least neutral? Any ideas are appreciated.
