There are a bunch of 'Trump Tweets' linked in the article, touting economic accomplishments. Man, PDJT has accomplished a LOT in such a short period of time! MAGA! :)

I have the most STARTLING chart EVER of the Trump recovery.

I received NO INQUIRES about work on LinkedIn the WHOLE TIME obummer was president.

I have received maybe SEVERAL HUNDRED since Trump took office.

I swear to that. Because it sounds too impossible to believe.

In fact it sounds insanely and absurdly impossible.

But it’s the truth.

Hi.

The only reason President Trump was able to accomplish this great economy is that he has a “magic wand.”

Yeah, it’s not ALL Sunshine and Roses, but when has it ever been?

I managed a multi-million dollar operation during the 0bama Reign of Error. It was amazingly difficult to keep the ship afloat due to 0bamacare and all that entailed, suddenly 32 hours was ‘working Full Time,’ etc.

I can’t say I shed a single tear for any Liberal I had to let go though, LOL!

You know the drill. I did it, and turned a profit for my Overlords, but I retired in 2016 and I ain’t never goin’ back, LOL!

"Trump’s economic successes are really the result of Obama administration policies."

As in, waiting to inhale until the skunk's a few miles behind.

A lot of those graphs seem to end in 2012 and 2014. Many of them show negative trends before Obama took office. I know the Obama “economy” sucked, but these charts aren’t impressive in showing it.

Should read:

The Obama Economic Disaster Revealed in a Single Glance with a Lot of Squinting, Parsing and Recentering

Is it too much to ask that someone who wants to give you something "in a single glance" put all the charts on one timeline and highlight the Obama years? So you get the idea in like, a single glance?

And if "Next time you hear a liberal friend claim that Trump has done nothing for the economy or the American worker" you "send them this link and show them the single image above" they will probably reply:

"I looked at your single image. Every chart has a different timescale but as far as I can see without my magnifying glass not even one of them goes past 2015. So like explain the part about Trump again."

His policies, driven through all the agencies like the EPA, were so extreme businesses had no idea where the suffocating would end.

From a business perspective Obama had his foot on their throats. The moment they were free to breathe, along with the tax cuts, signaled to everyone that they’d better start growing which requires investment.

It’s so obvious yet the leftists will believe anything, they’re not thinking critically, they’ll believe whatever the left wing narrative is otherwise they’d have to question everything they believe.

My glance took in the stupid ‘cash for clunkers’ fiasco.

Sure, let’s destroy a few million reasonably good cars so my BiG Auto exec buddies can sell more new cars to people who can’t afford them. (and get those bigger bonus checks)

How many mom & pop shadetree mechanic shops did that put in dire straits for having no cars to repair/maintain?
And how many poorer drivers had their affordable (<$2,500) vehicles taken out from under them?

College ‘perfessers’ should not be allowed to even visit the White House, let alone run things from there!

Smoke and mirrors have become a reliable indicator of economic conditions, right up there with unicorn sightings and mining the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....

There was even a song about it years ago, “Big Rock Candy Mountain”.

Recall, Obama’s 700 Billion dollar infrastructure plan?

Shovel Ready? Solyndra Solar scandal …. leaving taxpayers with over 535 Million dollars in federal guarantees?

Just to name a few.

Yeah, -— Democrats only know how to destroy things.

Agreed.

Though I HATE to admit it, I was offered and found VERY good jobs under the rapist.

That could have been carryover from Reagan or the internet boom.

obummer DESTROYED prospects.

Trump brought them back to life.

In some ways, the Obama Economy was worse than the Great Depression. It lasted longer, for one thing.

One of the worst things was the huge amount of capital and companies that fled the U.S. for foreign countries. To be expected when you have the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world.
