CNBC: “Throughout the 2016 campaign and since, the president and his party have vowed to kick-start tepid Obama-era economic growth. Specifically, they insisted tax-cuts and deregulation would return growth to its post-World War II average of 3 percent – a level, candidate Trump said derisively, that Obama became ‘the first president in modern history’ never to reach in a single year.” “New government data this morning show that Trump, too, has failed to reach the 3 percent promised land, according to one major metric. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis measured 2018 growth at 2.9 percent, matching the peak Obama enjoyed in 2015.”
That’s with inheriting a strong economy, full employment then paying off companies and wealthy with a massive tax cut. In a consumer based economy, F 150s is what creates growth not Ferraris.
