"At best, you would say it's been a continuation of a steady trend,"
So while the White House can certainly point to some yardsticks that indicate a meaningful turnaround on Trump's watch — including small business sentiment, business investment and goods-producing job growth — broader measures of the overall job market and wages show the economy continues to follow the steady, upward glide path that began under Obama.
It has to be remembered that Obama took over just following the GFC. It took a couple of years to start, but the graphs show upward trending since 2010...... that continues so Trump CAN take credit for maintaining the trend.
