Obama early in trump's turn: "Trump can't fix this broken economy, he doesn't have a magic wand!"
Obama on Trump's economic performance after his first term: "Yeah, it was pretty good because it was my economy!"
Hmmm... Which is it?
Then of course Biden or whoever was actually in charge in the white house printed ~9x the US dollars in circulation, and killed all the chickens (maybe it was necessary but it sure as hell wasn't something to blame Trump for, of all people). Now every issue is Trump's fault?
And sure, tariffs are actually Trump's first big economic move, and the immediate reaction is a stock panic. But we haven't truly seen the results yet. I wonder what the new cope will be if six months later Trump got most of his demands met, the tariffs are over, and things are looking up again? Are you going to say actually it was Biden's good economy? I'd bet my life savings the answer is yes.
What are trumps demands agian?
Edit: Is there any amount of data that could show you Obamas economy trended right into trumps?
