I predict that The Economist will discover more "fortunate timings" in the future.

If you cannot acknowledge your mistakes, you can never learn. Tragically, they make excuses, instead.

Maybe it is because America is re-vitalized because they did not get stuck with ANOTHER criminal Marxist hellbent on destroying the free American Republic. Just maybe....(/s)

Of course - Obama the Business Wizard, laid the groundwork for neophyte businessman Trump to just skate on his coattails.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

A lot can be attributed to the optimism that the country enjoyed following Trump’s election.

There haven’t been huge policy changes in trade policy or tax policy. But the economy is forward looking.

And don’t credit the rise of ISIS to Obama. That was just more fortunate timing.

Fortunate timing? That’s the kind of answer you put on a econ exam to an essay question and you completely blank out.

Ya, the “fortunate timing” was the election of Donald Trump.

So was the Clinton Economy. In his case, the great timing was the DotCom and 401k Booms. In Trump’s case, the great timing is the end of Obama.
