Trump did that all by himself, eh? How did he do that?
Presidents and their fans take a lot more credit for good economic news than they could possibly deserve, and similarly usually get a lot more blame for bad news.
Presidents can't and don't "grow the GDP" or "lower unemployment". A president contributes to an environment of an optimistic or pessimistic business outlook with favorable policies. To date, Trump has done a better job of that than Obama did. He isn't helping that lately with growing deficits, tariffs and talk of a shutdown.
