But seriously...tell me specifically what he has done and how that has positively effected the GDP, so I can give him credit.

In my view, President's are more likely to screw it up than help it. I think DJT has simply gotten out of the way and the economy has responded.

Perhaps...but was Obama in the way? We saw the same type of growth for much of his presidency, right?

Obama never had better than 3% for any calendar year, which I believe makes him the first President in history to have such a lackluster economic performance.

2015 was 2.9%, 2014 was 2.6% and 2010 was 2.5%. But he also had quarters of 4.6, 3.1, 4, 4.6. 5.2 and 3.2. All the same or better than two of trump's so far. Additionally, if you can't show that trump has done anything specifically to get credit for the last two quarters, some of that has to go to the condition things were left in, right? Not saying all, but some surely does.

Curious to know what 2016 was, the last year Obama was in office, to compare to 2017, the first of Trumps. Can you look up 2016 GDP real quick?
