In case you hadn't noticed, the economy cratered in Bush's last year in office and spent the next 8 years recovering. That's why interest rates were low, to spur borrowing and growth. And a look at your chart shows that even with the 2017 increases the interest rates are still well below historical averages.
Here you can see that only in 2017 (The start of the Trump presidency) can you see the Fed raising rates at a very steep angle.
Have you not noticed how the economy has exploded in the last year? Raising interest rates are a means to keep it from overheating and inflation under control. Rising interest rates are a sign of a healthy economy, not an attempt to trash it.
