The GDP rose at 2.6% Because of Trump or in spite of him?

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Fastest growth in years. So what's you synopsis of why?

Confidence in a new administration or growth in spite of the new administration?

 

[Care4all]

A little bit of both imo.

 

[Siete]

Trump hasnt done a damn thing from a legislative standpoint to effect the economy one way or the other ..

when Congress shoved healthcare back up his ass the market reacted positively like it should have.

on a 1 - 10 yawner scale he gets a 15

YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

 

[Care4all]

this catastrophe could put a damper on business confidence though...cuz the anticipated tax cuts might have to be nixed

Business spending up, very nice.

Not enough info yet, otherwise.

We should all be happy.

Lots of reasons for the GNP, and Trump is definitely a positive component. Truth is we're just realizing our potential, which was dampened under Obama's leadership despite incredibly low interest rates. This is no surprise.

Trump has cut regulations massively, so he gets some credit.

Since he took office, Trump has frozen all future regulations until all his cabinet appointees and heads of agencies have been confirmed by the Senate. He's proposed killing two regulations for every new one. He's requested each agency to name a regulatory officer to identify rules to be eliminated. He's exercised his authority -- in unprecedented fashion -- to repeal 14 Obama-era rules and wipe out or delay 860 prospective rules federal agencies planned to work on this year.
Trump's war on regulations comes with big tradeoffs​

From my experience, if we just get government out of the way, the economy would grow by 4% or more.

It is government intervention in markets that hampers growth and causes imbalances.

From an economic standpoint, government doing nothing is a winning strategy.

Sure. And creates a market later for cleaning up the mess.

in addition to the pickup last quarter, results for the first three months of the year showed the economy had slightly more tepid growth than previously reported, in part because of a bigger drag from inventories and weaker business investment. At the same time, economic growth from 2014 to 2016 was marked up to an average annual rate of 2.2 percent from 2.1 percent, according to annual revisions.

Obamacare needs to go....massive growth in jobs if that happens along with reducing the corporates tax rate

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

All of Obama's policies FINALLY made a difference. It only took 8 years of the worst growth in American history, but we're finally there. Thanks Obama.

What specifically has Trump done that has impacted this growth?

Specifically.

[norwegen]

I heard that growth was at three percent. But no matter. At either rate, the Trump Administration has effected a higher rate of growth in less than one year than the Kenyon's Administration could manage in eight years.

Whatever we may think of Trump, he's a welcome relief.

Oh, of course. Obama is the one made this happen, eh.

Yeah. The rust belt populists who elected Trump are all about dropping that corporate tax rate.

Obama had several quarters of 3.0% or better growth. And he wasn't even handed a strong evonomy by his predecessor.
