I was surprised to see that comparison between Obama and Trump. Of course, the DJIA is a small indicator of the health of the economy. By every measure, we are FAR better off under the unrepentant capitalist Trump rather than the communist Obama.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Tuesday credited former President Obama for the current strength of the economy, arguing that "Barack Obama’s economy was much stronger than Donald Trump’s economy."
The opinion from the former GOP congressman and co-host of "Morning Joe" comes as both Obama and Trump have taken credit for an economy that includes the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, rising wages and a soaring stock market.
“Eleven years later, the unemployment rate is down, the stock market is up and President Trump is raging on Twitter. He's not happy,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said, referring to the 11 years that have elapsed since the end of the Great Recession.
“Here are the facts," Scarborough added. "We've had 11 years of uninterrupted economic growth. It started with the majority through the Obama administration, and if you just take the three years that Donald Trump has been in office, you take that time period and you compare it to Barack Obama’s final three years, by just about every measure, Barack Obama’s economy was much stronger than Donald Trump’s economy.”

On the economy, Democrats must brag louder than Trump
The article was written by Marik von Rennenkampff:
"Marik von Rennenkampff served as an analyst with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, as well as an Obama administration appointee at the U.S. Department of Defense. Follow him on Twitter @MvonRen."
This article is the go-to talking-points resource for Democrats and contains multiple hotlinks to articles that claim Obama had a better economy than Trump.
Mika certainly has this guy’s nads

Tell a lie often enough...
Not what my 401k plan says.
I SO miss the old days when presidents would just return to their previous lives as private citizens and quietly write their memoirs.
Lies, lies, lies
And more lies

She sucked brains out through his ****.
It is pathetic that worthless nitwits like this fool are paid millions to lie and mislead people. That is a major problem with the economy.
I heard the ghost of Woodrow Wilson appeared in a seance and claimed the current good economy is as a result of his policies finally taking effect.
Yeah, 100 years later. That was his plan and he set it up just right. Take THAT Obama!
Hey joe, you murdered Lori, dont think we will EVER forget that
He’s truly hit 1984-esque newspeak. Up is down, black is white. The bammy economy was much stronger than President Trump’s??? I haven’t checked but I will bet you there is not one single objective measure of the economy that is not better under President Trump than it was under bammy’s occupation. Not one.
My job was threatened 3 times during GWB-Obama to be replaced with India workers.
Starting around 2016, it all changed.
I’m doing the best I EVER have in my 30+ years in chip design.
some liberal hack on fox news saying obama created ‘way more jobs’ than Trump did- what she didn’t mention was they were low wage 20 hour a week jobs- working fast food - and liberals were saying at the time that ‘noone really wants to work much longer anyways’ or some such nonsense- defending the president’s miserable job recovery efforts-
oh and let’s not forget the highly successful ‘cash for clunkers’ that did absolutely zero to stimulate the economy
OMG these people are just ridiculous the entire REASON for Trump is because Obama’s economy was SO BAD college grads could not find jobs!!! These people are banking on the American people being SO STUPID they will believe this!!!

Scarborough is a delusional arse-hole.
These rat media liars never have a economics and/or business degree, much less an MBA. Obozzo handed out trillions of new debt to only major CORP’s. Trump has a Wharton degree in econ. He understands when you cut taxes on Corp’s it gives owners more Capital to hire/expand. Obama never understood land, labor, and Capital. All he knew was HAND OUTS.
