Not a chance. Obama is the only president in history never to have had even one year of 3% growth in his entire 8 years in power.

I looked at Wikipedia:

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States#21st_century)

2013 GDP $16.785 trillion
2016 GDP $18.715 trillion
2019 GDP $21.439 trillion

18.715/16.785 = 1.115 and 21.439/18.715 = 1.146

So GDP grew 11.5% from 2013 to 2016. GDP grew 14.6% from 2016 to 2019. So the first 3 years of Trump the GDP grew more than the last 3 years of Obama. The main stream media got the claim wrong.
