I only have one account here, and I'm the guy who says that any President shouldn't get credit or blame about economic growth numbers.

Lol, don’t know Mike but share the same opinion presidents get way too much blame and credit for the economy. I think the economy is fine, but it’s been fine for many years. Just like to point out the change of opinion and hypocrisy on this. Before this year 2% was considered sluggish sub standard growth proof of Obama’s ineptness, and 3% was proof Trump was an economic genius, but now after 2 consecutive quarters with 2% GDP, first dispute the number, then claim the metric doesn’t matter it’s all about the eyeball test and the gut feeling. And 2% is wonderful. A complete 180, my one dollar bill is better than your one dollar bill. It’s hilarious. I might add that though presidents get too much blame and and credit, starting a trade war without having the leverage and gameplan to finish, spooking business investment unnecessarily might be one of the few circumstances where the president deserves blame, but I digress. Just nice to hear people now graciously celebrating 2% growth when before they derided it.

You've started 3 threads in 7 years... And THIS is one of them?
You guys are hilarious. And you have the nerve to talk about Trumpettes? You literally trolled your way into digging up a couple posters you knew wouldn't be able to resist getting into a message board pissing match.
The never Trumpers have been and always will be way worse than any Trumpette apologist.

Also: it was 2.5% not 2%, so if you're gonna argue over the nitty gritty details get em right.
And the last 2 Q came in at 3.1 and 2.1, respectively...
So don't lie about how 2% wasn't good and now is good enough. 2.5 is better than 2 as much as 2.5 isn't as good as 3.
Willing to bet by the end of his 8 years he has the country averaging close to 3% for his entire time.

Maybe because you're only looking at what's great for you.

What else should matter to me?
But seriously.... things are great for a lot of people. Sorry, not sorry.
