Are you seriously trying to say that Trump followers have somehow saved the economy? WOW!!! What color is the sky in that fantasy world you are living in?
No. President Trump saved the economy from devastation caused by the idiot you called a leader. Obummer tried his best to destroy this Country, with mutant liberals help, but was unsuccessful. You cannot dispute FACTS.
Only fools think a President has the power to make the economy do a 180 degree turn in his or her first year in office. Of course, we’re talking about Lester, here.
Obama inherited an economic crisis worse than any since 1929. Trump inherited an economy that is fundamentally sound. I’d like to think the Trump GOP policies will leave his successor with a strong economy but the past results of those policies give me little reason to believe that.
Then the MAGA dog threw the economy in the well after 8 years of dragging it back up from what W did to it. For good measure the MAGA dog peed on it, we still aren’t sure whether he was marking his territory or if it was just for kicks.
@everyone who thinks Obama is the cause of the recovery – that’s why the economy was basically just idling until after election day. Keep living you socialistic emerald dream, the rest of the country has work to do.
Bloomberg economists predict the U.S. will grow 2.5 percent in 2018; China, 6.4 percent; Japan, 0.9 percent; and Germany, 1.6 percent. In most cases those numbers are in line with the growth expected for 2017, which has turned out to be a better year than many forecasters expected.
The upswing hasn’t benefited everyone. The IMF points out that prospects are “lackluster” in many nations of sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Even in wealthy nations, those at the bottom are hurting. In the U.S., wage growth remains anemic despite an unemployment rate in the low 4s.
Is this ‘toon Mr. Lester’s convoluted way of saying that the American economy is doing well, just not as good as the economies of Japan, Germany, and the UK?

Does that mean when the bubble bursts we can blame Trump or will it still be Obama/Hillary’s fault?

I’m sorry some of you can’t seem to find and read the latest economic numbers. They’re so bad Obama is taking credit for them.

Sorry MAGA saved the economy? Sorry, but Trump and Co. are working very hard at the moment on tanking the economy.
