    Dow in the first 11 months:
    - Obama: +29.9%
    - Trump: +25.0%
    S&P in the first 11 months:
    - Obama: +36.9%
    - Trump: +18.4%
    Jobs created under Obama:
    2013: 2.3m
    2014: 2.9m
    2015: 2.7m
    2016: 2.2m
    Jobs created under Trump:
    2017: 1.7m (w/o Dec.)

    And then there's this...

    "WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The U.S. economy’s expansion slowed in the fourth quarter, and annual growth failed to reach 3% for an 11th straight year, reflecting the huge hurdles the Trump administration faces in trying to speed up a 7½-year-old expansion."

    If a Democrat had these kind of numbers, Trump and his cultists would be crying about a slowdown

    Funny how none of the Trump supporters want credit for the economy anymore and will soon be blaming Obama when the slowdown becomes more obvious

    You guys should run on the bad economy. Might pick up a few seats in 2018.
    It's not like you have any new ideas.

    That's ironic considering the only legislative accomplishment from your side has been 'tax cuts' - the great new idea that has never been tried before. What happened to the great Republican healthcare plan by the way? No?
