Economists agree: Trump, not Obama, gets credit for economy

i post about this because liberal predictions were 100% wrong. All the doom and gloom they prophesied was bullshit. I am also posting about this because liberals are claiming this is to obama's credit, not trumps, and my OP refutes that due to the poll of economists. Seems you missed the point.

1) Conservative predictions about Obama & the stimulus were equally wrong. Didn't seem to bug you as much.
2) We're exactly 1 year into Trump's tenure. I love this economy & hope it continues forever - but it's not exactly a time to be drawing definitive conclusions and crowing like desh on steroids yet.

What was your prediction on the Trump economy in November of 2016?

I don't think I had a specific economic prediction. I did think Trump would be an awful President, and he is. He has divided us and discredited some of our most vital institutions much more quickly and in much more efficient manner than even I envisioned. He has laid waste to sound discourse.

I absolutely think his one-sided tax cut will be a long-term negative for our economy, the deficit, future generations & the country.

Your "OP" doesn't refute it, you posted an opinion piece based on a source no one can access, there is no reason to believe it isn't a framed opinion

I think we’re on the cusp of an economic boom that will last as long as the Lost Decade we’re coming out of.

Though I didn’t predict anything specific I was very confident the economy would do well under Trump—it was a big reason I voted for him. And I was confident he would restore our standing in the world and not get us into any asinine misadventures—and so far so good on that.

As far as the institutions go, they’ve damaged themselves: the media have outted themselves as partisan hacks, in very large part. Something like 90% of Trump’s coverage is negative. There’s no spinning that number. Just today, I made an OP about the APA being forced to castigate some pysch doctors for unethical behavior; and since the media was more than willing to give them voice, they are equally culpable.

Even before Trump came along, institutions like the IRS have shown themselves to be corrupt on the management level. Same ditto on the FBI.

I’m very happy with my vote, so far.

Thing's "He has divided us and discredited some of our most vital institutions.." caught my eye,
and I was going to respond until i saw the same idea:
The institutions have systemic politicization,and signs of corruption. They discredit themselves

Yes, I am quite sure Obama added $10T to the debt. The majority of it due to his 'stimulus' that gave us one of the weakest recoveries in history, yet doubled the debt for future generations to pay.
 
The only thing Obama did to "pull us out of the recession" :rofl2:
Was throw a bunch of money to anything that moved. PERIOD.

Worst economic growth ever ensued.

look, Trump is a business man, a good one, let him work, let liberals cry, we vote again, trump is here until 2021, all is well, liberals waste 8 years of their lives crying.

It's all good baby

The stimulus was 787 billion you know this stuff is pretty easy to look up so there's no reason for you to have to say stupid stuff
