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.

Just more proof that these people don’t live in the real world, where people have to get and hold real jobs and work for their money.

[headstamp 2]

But Obama blamed his economy on Bush at every opportunity. LOL

[aligncare]

Propagandist extraordinaire, both. (The true word for ‘propagandist’ is liar.)

Welcome to news in the 21st century.

My A$$!! I guess Joe didn't have to buy gasoline and heating oil when the Muslim was in the White Hut. My health insurance and all my deductibles went up. No Social Security increases. Trump made the Trump economy. Period! They said the same thing when Bush 2 got elected that he was riding Clinton's economy. There are help wanted signs in every store and business I enter.

Obama 2009:

(The) hard truth is that some of the jobs that have been lost in the auto industry and elsewhere won’t be coming back. They are casualties of a changing economy.

Newsflash, 2016:

Roughly 300,000 manufacturing jobs were lost during the eight years of the Obama administration, including minor losses in Obama’s final year in office.

Obama 2016:

When [Trunp says] that he’s going to bring all these jobs back. Well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do? There’s no answer to it. He just says, ‘I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well how? How exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.

Newsflash, January 23, 2020:

Since January 2017, more than 480,000 manufacturing jobs have been added to the U.S. economy, following two decades of sharp losses.

Obama, Feb 17, 2020

Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history.

Obama's economy WAS BETTER FOR "WHITE LIBERAL ELITES" IN WASHINGTON DC... Never have so many deep state thugs sold so much of the United States treasure (trade deals that favored our enemies, lives of our young for 'speaker's fees in Arab countries, citizenship in exchange for butts being kissed etc etc etc) for so little - pennies on the millions...

President Trump's economy is BEST of EVERYDAY CITIZENS...

(liberals come to DC middle class and in a few short years they're all multimillionaires... )

[olezip]

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.

Morning Joe maybe should take a time out to study Economics 101.

Obama was an economic disaster. Unemployment at record highs; Food stamp recipients were growing in number. Black and Hispanic unemployment were at record highs. There was no future for many people. Employment in the government was growing to carry out socialist inspired jobs (low salary).

There is no comparison between the Trump roaring economy and the disastrous Obama economy.

There is absolutely nothing for Democrats to brag about!

[DoughtyOne]

Embarrassing the guy could be that out of touch with reality.

Hey Joe, did you hear that Trump found the wand Obama shot
off his mouth about?

[kaehurowing]

Those Soviet Five Year Plans were wonderful. Everything boomed as substantiated by the Plan Goals.

Federal Funds Rate - 62 Year Historical Chart

Compare the interest rates under Obama's entire time in office versus Trump.

Obama had 0% almost his entire time in office.

Add to that the Fed's QE1 December 2008-June 2010, $2.1 trillion in artificial economic growth.

QE2 November 2010 through June 2011, added another $600 Billion in artificial growth.

QE3 September 2012 through October 2014, added another $4.5 Trillion in artificial economic growth.

$7.2 Trillion in artificial economic growth.

Nothing but smoke and mirrors during the Obama years.

The Mika-whipped POS has hit the bottom.

Poor Joe. Had a dead intern in his congressional office.

Check six Mika.

Joe Scarborough is nothing but an absolute liar. The economy has done nothing but grow stronger and stronger since Trump became president and Scarborough knows it. Just look at the unemployment numbers and the stock market and that’ll put Scarborough in his place. What a dingbat!

[RooRoobird20]

Poor Dead Intern Joe, he knows he can’t deny the GREAT Trump economy anymore. So his ludicrous fall-back position is that the great economy is due to the pathetic Bath House Barry.

Hey Joe, nobody important is buying your B.S. Even the 53 people who watch your LAME show probably aren’t buying your B.S.
