Donald Trump frequently tells us that before he became president our economy was in a shambles. Unemployment was sky high, the stock market was in the dumps and nobody could find a job.
But then President Trump stimulated new job creation, brought unemployment way down, lowered African American unemployment to near record lows and created a booming stock market.
So, let’s take a closer look at each of these claims.

The libs in this area have been making that claim since mid 2017. I always ask them, "Then why did Obama mock Trump before the election as he explained that jobs were never going to come back? Why did he say, 'What - does he have a magic wand that he's going to use to make them magically reappear?'"
I found what you said riveting.

Obama’s ego could not allow him to remain silent forever. Of course he would try to take credit for that which he didn’t do. It’s his MO.
This does point out one of the most excellent parts of the Trump years....the lack of Obama running his mouth and fawning media coverage of said fool running his mouth. I hear his awful voice occasionally but it’s rare and that is beautiful.

To a degree he's right. By dragging the economy along the bottom for 8 years Oby made it easy for Trump to improve it. Seriously though, Stampy Feet thinks we forgot statements like, "You didn't build that ","Your jobs aren't coming back " and wondering what magic wand Trump has that will improve the economy. No, like Carter, Stampy Feet had not one clue how an economy works. He was a misguided theoretician whose pride and prejudice prevented him from learning truth.This message has been edited.

Only low information voters believe anything that comes out of zero’s mouth. It was amateur hour in the White House for 8 years with that bum. The article is one big false extrapolation.

Look at this article for what it is....desperation. The Dem's don't have an electable candidate, an agenda supported buy a majority of the electorate, and no foreseeable way back into power. As such, they manufacture and shovel this kind of bullshit to try and sway as many morons as possible to voting Dem. Fortunately, it isn't going to work, and Trump will continue to erase Obama from the history books until his only claim to fame will be being the first black president.

One guy by himself can't make the economy good or bad. But he can help by not saying things like "you didn't build that" or "those jobs aren't coming back" or "this <1% growth we have is as good as you're gonna get." When peoples' confidence in it is undermined, a poor economy becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But I thought that the Crimson Kenyan declared in 2013 or 2014 or so that 1.5% - 2% growth was the “new normal” and domestic manufacturing was never coming back?!
Why would mr. not a smidgeon of corruption lie to us?!

I hated hearing that bullshit from him and his cronies. The guy loved seeing America struggle.

He's using a little hyperbole there. The economy, stock market and unemployment rebounded a little from the low of 2007-09 (before Obama took office). But they should have done a lot better, and would have had he (Obama) not trash-talked it or sunk all that money into the non-existent "stimulus."
