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.

Economist Magazine: Surging Economy Under Trump Only Due to 'Fortunate Timing'

Exactly. Just like how Ebola got blamed for eight years (EIGHT YEARS!) of the consequences of Boooosh screwups!

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

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.

These are the same loons that blamed President Bush for everything “Bad” during Obama’s 8 years, but when Trump is President, nah no credit given..its either because of Obama or just “Fortunate timing”

The Economist - another in a long line of Keynesian Lying Leftist outlets.

Fugeddabouddit.

The Delusional Lying Left would collectively fall over dead if we had a bonafide and sustained economic boom. Seeing them fall over dead would be almost as fun as the boom itself.

But seriously, what is REALLY needed for sustained economic growth is not only cutting taxes but cutting the federal government by A LOT: try 80% - which is about the portion that is unconstitutional.

We’ve gone from “Bush’s fault” when Obama’s ideas failed, to “fortunate circumstances” when good things happen under Trump.

Yep - Obama slaved away 18 hours a day for 8 years to Make America Great Again.

Then, just as things began to turn around, the Russians send Trump swooping in to take the credit!!

Really, the timing is so perfect for this kind of protective leftist pap story to their god. Bill Clinton’s presidency had nothing to do with the “birth” of the internet nor the demise of the USSR, but his presidency derived much of its alleged glory from those events.

The Economist is full on leftist; it’s unreadable.

The Economist is right.

We elected Trump at just the right time.

I remember when I didn’t understand economics. Of course I didn’t write for a financial publication.

He is merely the passive recipient of He is merely the passive recipient of "fortunate timing."

HA....."fortunate timing."

Yeah....it's fortunate indeed that over 65 million deplorables elected a MAGA President.

Suck it up Econocreeps
