Trump's performance behind Obama ... The Trump vs. Obama economy — in 15 charts Amid economic indica

[Denizen]

"As for two of Trump’s favorite metrics — stocks and jobs — there is a case to be made that those looked better under Obama, although most economists expected job gains to slow now that the economic recovery is a decade old."

Trump's tax stimulus has petered out and he is looking to inject more debt into the US economy by reducing payroll tax.

Trump inherited a good and growing economy from Obama and is steering it towards the rocks.

Trump has trashed every economic and military alliance the USA has which will have long-lasting adverse effects on USA's international influence and reputation.

The Trump fantasy is falling apart as Donald Trump's mental state deteriorates.

... The economy is growing at about the same pace as it did in Obama’s last years, and unemployment, while lower under Trump, has continued a trend that began in 2011.
The best case Trump can make for improvement since he took office is higher wages. The typical American worker’s pay is finally growing more than 3 percent a year, a level not seen since before the Great Recession. Similarly, consumer and business confidence surged after Trump’s election and has remained high, and manufacturing output (and jobs) also saw a noticeable jump in 2018 after Trump’s tax cut, although manufacturing is now struggling. There’s also been a drop in the number of Americans on food stamps.

But in other areas Trump’s record does not look as rosy. Government debt and the trade deficit are climbing (while most economists don’t worry about the rising trade deficit, Trump made it a central part of his 2016 election campaign), and business investment is faltering as corporate leaders say they are wary of Trump’s trade war. The number of Americans lacking health insurance is also ticking up slightly.

As for two of Trump’s favorite metrics — stocks and jobs — there is a case to be made that those looked better under Obama, although most economists expected job gains to slow now that the economic recovery is a decade old.
Presidents have only so much control over the economy, but how voters perceive economic conditions and their personal finances can play a key role in how they vote. Lately, Republicans and many wealthy voters rate this economy as the best since the 1990s boom, while Democrats and many lower-income voters are less enthusiastic.

Doesn't matter, a majority are happier with Trump's economy than Obama's. Tissue?

Tough sh*t. You had your chance to move to Canada after he was elected in 2016.

But you didn't, so suffer.

do you understand the economy lags behind policy decisions?

This wapo report was from a year ago. Trump's policies hadnt yet taken effect. But now were starting to see the increase national debt and inflation from tariffs, costs of trade war.

WaPo has a left-center bias, but they are factual.
