If you're wondering why Democrats are claiming Obamas' economy was more robust than Trumps' economy, it's because of this article:

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.

I SO miss the old days when presidents would just return to their previous lives as private citizens and quietly write their memoirs.

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!

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

investment wise i seem to be about where i was in 2014, without factoring in inflation (if i did, i would be perhaps 10% down from my 2014 value). that’s not to say trump has been bad but perhaps rather that at least in my case, i have been deep in the hole investment-wise, and only now am i starting to make progress in the absolute sense (and even this, only by taking some risk).

i do wish the economists would simply stop with what is effectively the anti-trump propaganda.

the one thing i worry about at the moment is the effect of the coronavirus on the us stock markets.

For 8 years all I heard Obama and the media state they inherited a bad economy from Bush and it’s his economy. Now they’re saying it’s Obama’s economy yet the media is also stating Trump’s economy is not good——which is it?

Scarborough still in Obama’s pocket as usual...can’t let go of the past. None of them can. They’re all hoping we get tired of hearing their prattle. They’er like palestinians....whine and bellyache and cough up all their dribble.

If Obama’s economy was so good then why did he blame President Trump for 6 years?

dems can't beat him in the courts nor in the congress, so they have to beat him on the economy.

mark my words...as soon as the economy takes any kind of dip, it's because of trumps economy kicking in....

I guarantee that will be the narrative.

Tell that to the millions of people who have joined the labor force since Obozo left office. Or older workers like me who were pushed out of work in the waning days of BO’s administration and couldn’t get a nibble until Trump took office. Now, I am making more than I ever thought possible for a guy in his 60s.
