President Trump may indeed not be solely responsible for my local economic upturn, but under Obama we saw a rapid and steady decline, and this continued until about 90 days into the Trump administration when things began to improve. This improvement continues today, and after 8 years of steady decline it is hard to credit the Obama administration with anything other than a failure concerning our local economy.
We are talking about USA not Venezuela.
8 years of consistent quarter on quarter GDP growth does not translate to 8 years of steady decline.
It was tepid growth, but it was rather remarkably consistent over that time. Tepid has shifted gears since Trump took office...but he has not reversed any decline.
