Our economy is doing much better than when he took office.
If you remove illegal immigration and foreign direct investment from the calculations used to determine our GDP, you'll find that the US domestic economy is stagnant or shrinking.
Foreign direct investment is why the federal government was so eager for the UAE to purchase US port resources, and why a Spanish company is being courted to by rights to US transporation. Selling our vital assets off to foreign countries and foreign corporations, keeps the myth of a robust GDP alive just a little longer. Until there is nothing left to sell, and "immigrants" outnumber US citizens in this country.

If you remove the world from anybody's GDP, I expect they won't do as well.
Which country in the world do you think has a better economy?
