How can Mr Trump get credit for the economy when Obama went from 7% to 4.5 ?

☺ I have seen more help wanted now hiring signs that any other time since the year 2000.
I remember it like it was yesterday. So what gives. Trump hasn't done anything if you ask me. ☺

Are you blind? Economically Obama has been deemed a failure. Doubling our deficit. His recovery has been called anemic, he never achieved a GDP over 2.0%. Trump's America first agenda and his promises to businesses have grown the GDP to nearly 4%, as well as creating 1.5 million new jobs, he's also worked out deals with several major companies to bring dollars and jobs back to the US for even more growth.

@biandlargeny False. Obama created an environment for business to create jobs. I am hearing about the regulations that have been reduced, yes. But the Obama admin created about 11 million jobs to be exact. The minimum wage did go up in some major big business places like Wal Mart, and some other highly published corporations. And in the South we saw about 500,000 people move to my state in the past 10 years alone. The unemployment rate in my state is about 3.9.
Some places felt the recovery more than others apparently.

Minimum wage increases mandated by state or municipalities laws actually reduced jobs. Most of the jobs created by Obama were low washer or seasonal work. The labor participation rate fell to depression l ended under Obama. The regulations and penalties on small businesses were just the beginning of the decline. Trump's removal of many of these uconsitutional regulations is the start of a real recovery

@biandlargeny Most of the jobs were manufacturing and retail or as I have already seen in my state. They were there before Trump was even considered running for President.
The South saw momentum since 2010. Some parts of the US have not seen a major economic turnaround or recovery in over 30 years. It is easy to say you did something if somebody else created the atmosphere for you to do it. Trump is an opportunist. He is piggybacking off of Obama's success. Clearly he, Mr Trump, was not the president in the year 2008 during the peak of the recession.

Nor was he President when the labor participation rate fell to below 50% between 2008 and 2016. This is the real gauge of employment satisfaction. As previous explained one a person's unemployment runs out they are removed from the unemployment rolls. The drop in unemployment was due benefits expiring not jobs being created and filled.

@biandlargeny I see it with my own eyes. Jobs are here. This is old news and the momentum came from Obama. 2014 was a big step up especially in the stock market. Trump already has the single lowest approval rating of any US president at this time in history. Next time the chants of fake news will be like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Because if he keeps up with his nonsense, the sheep will really be dead this time around. ☺

Lol these are the same polling groups that said Clinton was guaranteed to win. No stock placed in polls. Liberal media spins lose approvals but there's no facts to support it

@biandlargeny Dont let the last Election day fool you. This time Hillary wont be in the picture. Any other prodigy candidate can easily beat Trump especially right now.

Lol ok I don't have to worry about that for 7 years
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@biandlargeny You mean 3. Trump will be a one term president. That's if he makes it through 2018.

Who do the Democrats have to run? Crazy Tim Kaine? Biden the pedophile? Who?

@biandlargeny Roy Moore.
