My numbers ARE real GDP, there’s no way you can make that statement. Reagan’s starting point was ridiculous to deal with and Trump never had to deal with a tightening Fed. He had them loose the entire time.

Your numbers are “% GDP Increase”.... not “Total GDP”

The Fed was lowering the balance sheet early in Trump’s term. That’s nothing like raising interest rates, but... it’s not the kind of money-printing assistance Obama had throughout all of his term.

Face it, man. The Economy was ROUGH under Reagan for much of his term. Unemployment was awful. I was laid off twice in those years.

It wasn’t Reagan’s doing. He started from a FAR worse place. You could make a strong case that Reagan IMPROVED the economy more. But, not that the economy was “better” under Reagan. Not even close.

2019, economy-wise, was as good as I’ve seen it in my lifetime.

Blast from the past: "President Reagan today signed into law a farm bill that is likely to boost federal subsidy spending "

Reagan was a simpering little faggont compared to Grover Cleveland. All the pedophiles hate Trump.
