The recession ended in June, 2009, about six months after Obama took office. The economy continued to grow over the next 7 1/2 years of the Obama administration, but at a slower than usual rate for a recovery because many of Obama's policies were not well received by the private sector. How is Trump responsible for that growth?
The growth continued after Trump's election, or after Hillary's defeat, for some time before Trump could get even begin to implement his changes. Anything that happened because of him was on top of a solid foundation of 8 years of growth.
To repeat, the influence of the president on the economy is a lot less than the fan boys claim on the up side, and a lot less than the detractors claim on the down side.
