The correct response would be that Obamacare, regulation, and uncertainty over tax rates hung over the economy like an albatross. We had solid growth but it could have been significantly better and the recovery was pretty tepid.
That would be the free-market answer... now let Trump supporters try and explain how Tariffs aren't just more of the same in terms of government interference in the economy. Government is still telling you what you should and shouldn't buy. Still meddling in the market. Still enacting new taxes on Americans...
Should be good...
