The booming economy may be President Trump's strongest asset heading into the election. Does he deserve credit for the country's success or is he coasting off of Barack Obama's momentum?
During his State of the Union address last week, President Trump touted the strength of the U.S. economy. “I am thrilled to report to you tonight that our economy is the best it has ever been,” he said. Though some may quibble with such a bold statement, there’s no question that — at least by certain metrics — the economy is booming.
Trump’s detractors say the gains made in the past three years are merely an extension of the progress Barack Obama set in motion. Not only did Obama prevent another depression, they argue, but he also built a solid foundation on which the current economic expansion has grown. Others say Trump has weakened the country’s long-term prospects by cutting taxes and increasing spending to create a short burst of growth that will ultimately destabilize the economy.
Voters recognize Trump’s positive influence“Trump’s policies have sparked the greatest economic renaissance America has seen in decades, and no amount of political spin can conceal that fact from the millions of Americans who are better off today thanks to his efforts.” — Julio Gonzalez, South Florida Sun Sentinel
The working class is being left behind by Trump’s policies“The economy is not working for average Americans. … Rather than helping, President Trump has broken his promise to stand up for average Americans. When facing a choice, he has regularly chosen the rich and powerful over the economic security of middle-class Americans.” — Christian Weller, Forbes
