No deflection, just providing some perspective.
The government figures are manipulated. The real present GDP is -2% under Trump. The manipulated figures use a compounded four consecutive quarters to create a false positive annualized growth rate instead of an accurate figure by using an annualized quarterly rate which is what they pretend to use when they call it GDP Annual Growth.
LOL! That's complete BS. The topline BEA "annual growth" figures don't have anything to do with the annualized quarterly rates. They're based on the year over year percentage change of the average quarterly dollar amounts for each year. You're just spewing gibberish.
What propaganda blog fed you the garbage about "real present GDP" (whatever that's supposed to mean) being "-2%"?
You conveniently forget that Obama saved the American economy
Wrong. Obama spent 8 years stomping on the economy. It's no coincidence that things suddenly happened to surge up under Trump 8
years into the "recovery".
Notice how the OP brings up Obama. Why not Clinton?
Why not the Republican Congress, LOL? The second decade of the Reagan boom, which began after the mild 1991 recession ended (3.5% growth in 1992, despite the "it's the economy, stupid" campaign, knocked down a point in 1993 by Clinton's moronic tax hike, which fortunately didn't tip the economy back into recession), was never as explosive as in the 1980s, but did move from solid to a full boom after the capital gains tax cut in 1997 and welfare reform. Those last 4 years of Clinton's tenure were the real boom years, each one seeing 4%+ growth versus only one year in his first term that barely hit 4%.
Or why not raise Harding/Coolidge or JFK? Because we're talking about this era, and highlighting the sharp contrast between Trump and Obama's performance (particularly the last couple of years) during the
same cycle.
