Trump 2017 GDP: Not 3 percent

Posted on: January 27, 2018 at 11:37:39 CT

So many of his supporters have been mistakenly saying that Trump has already gotten over 3% GDP, something Obama never got. But what they don't realize is that was quarterly, and Obama got that several times. This is how news networks like Fox take advantage of a base they know doesn't pay attention to the distinction.

You saw the same thing with the "lowest black unemployment ever" under Trump, because it went down a single percentage point. While it was cut in half under Obama,

SO, subpar GDP, same out of work rate, unemployment virtually the same, wages stagnant. Yes the stock market is on a tear, but it was under Obama, and the majority of Americans don't own a single share of stock. This time 18 months ago, with similar statistics, all you heard was how abysmal the economy was. Now people are saying it's the best ever. Again, whats the difference? What changed??
