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.

How come in 8 years under Obama the GDP averaged less than 2 percent cent annually? That's some growth you say was a solid foundation.
Under Trump the GDP has exceeded Obama's by many lengths, despite your criticism.
And this was a great foundation that began with the worst economy since the Great Depression.
Under Trump all time record lows in unemployment rate in all demographics. Ignoring that too. Business and consumer confidence at levels Obama never got close to.
I know you are right and the rest of the fan boys are clueless. Also clueless are the millions working that didn't work under Obama, and the record billions in the US Treasury that didn't exist under Obama, too. All thanks to Trump.
