What great economy?

 

President Trump likes to brag about having the greatest economy in history.  As I read it, the Trump economy just allowed the Obama trends of an improving economy to continue, although not quite as well. 

These graphs tell part of the story but the full article by Steven Rattner gives you more detail and goes into forecasts for the next 4 years. These graphs are from that article but you should really read the whole thing if you believe we had the greatest economy in history before the pandemic.
