It's very arguable that the spike in 2017 through to early 2018 was a continuation of Obama's economy.
Trump even achieved a low of 1.1% in q3 2018.
Everything about Trump is bogus. He inherited his wealth and supplemented it with Russian mob money when he faced bankruptcy.
Trump inherited a healthy growing economy from Obama and expert economic consensus is that Trump will cause a recession.
The only thing growing under Trump's dead hand is the government debt which is growing at record rates. It's 'yooj' and burgeoning as debt growth is > 2.5 x GDP growth. This is unsustainable and Donald Trump's bogus casino economy is headed for a bust.

Boeing’s troubles, trade disruption and a tight job market held back growth last year, and a more subdued expansion appears to lie ahead.

The government’s latest economic scorecard arrived on Thursday, offering fresh evidence that the economy continues to grow, but at a frustratingly slow pace.

As the nation heads toward a presidential election, the question is whether voters will view steady but unspectacular growth as a sign that President Trump’s handling of the economy has succeeded or stumbled.
Gross domestic product, which measures the value of goods and services produced inside the United States, grew at a 2.1 percent annual rate between October and December, the same as the previous three months, according to preliminary data released by the Commerce Department. As for 2019 as a whole, the report shows that the economy turned in a weaker annual showing than it did in 2017 and 2018.
In previous decades, growth that consistently fell below 3 percent would have been seen as distressing. Now most economists — at least those outside the administration — see normal growth circling the 2 percent mark.
