Republicans railed against the national debt during the Obama administration, when it nearly doubled from $10.6 trillion to $19.9 trillion. But Republicans — with few exceptions — have been more muted about the debt under Mr. Trump.

In 2014 this analyst was projecting a bust as bad as the recession crash:

IF you take a look you will see that before obama the record high was in the 14k's. As with house prices, the record keeps going up. Otherwise it wouldn't be a record. 19.9k from 6k is no mean growth however much you hate Obama. Its what you're building on that makes the difference.

Im not denying the numbers have gone up but pointing out the unnecessary and spiteful lies going into a game of one upmanship.. the constant need to be acknowledged as the best of all time is juvenile and not supported by facts.

The FACT is that 4.1% is not a historical quarter gain and Obama did "break 2%" more than once.. and that Thumper has yet to break 3% annual growth, nor match Obama's biggest year....yet being the operative word.

2) “I have no stocks. I advise people not to invest in the stock market, not now. Way too dangerous.” Filmmaker Michael Moore, August 2017.

3) “It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover? We are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight.” Paul Krugman of the New York Times, the day after the election.

4) “If Trump wins we should expect a big markdown in expected future earnings for a wide range of stocks – and a likely crash in the broader market.” Eric Zitzewitz, former economist with the International Monetary Fund, November 2016.

5) “Under Trump, I would expect a protracted recession to begin within 18 months. The damage would be felt far beyond the United States.” Larry Summers, former chief economist to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, June 2016.

6) “If the unlikely event happens and Trump wins, you will see a market crash of historic proportions, I think. … The markets are terrified of him.” Steve Rattner, MSNBC economic guru, October 2016.

7) “Wall Street is set up for a major crash if Donald Trump shocks the world on Election Day and wins the White House. New research suggests that financial markets strongly prefer a Hillary Clinton presidency and could react with panicked selling should Trump deliver a shocking upset on Nov. 8.” Ben White, Politico, October 2016.

And finally, and most unambiguously:

8) “A President Trump Could Destroy the World Economy” – headline of a Washington Post editorial, October 2016.

Projections!

Wrong projections by the bird brained leftist morons who infest the news media.

No rational person pays any attention to anything they say these days.

Utter and total bullshiite. Economists all over America agree the GDP gains are sustainable...all except for the bubble brained leftist morons...who said Trump would crash the economy and even went so far as to say Trump would crash the "world economy".

"THE FACTS: Trump didn't inherit a fixer-upper economy."

More hyperbolic bullshiite. The economy was mired in regulation and high taxes..to the degree businesses fled the US to escape the Obama Desolation.
