Trump Is Taking Credit For Obama’s Job Numbers

[wjboyer1]

In an interview today with CNBC, White House economic adviser Gary Cohn admitted that February’s strong jobs growth is actually not attributable to new President Donald Trump.

Cohn pointed out that all of the promises of adding more American jobs that Trump has been obtaining from various corporations haven’t happened yet. The promises have been extracted, but the workers haven’t been hired.
When Trump’s own staffers admit that Obama’s economic policies worked and Americans across the country reaped the benefits, you know that his success is undeniable.

While Obama inherited the worst recession in American history since the Great Depression, Trump has inherited a strong, stable economy. Unemployment is below 5% and the economy has been adding 2.4 million jobs per year since 2010.

Real wages have increased too, meaning that workers’ paychecks buy more than they used to.

Let's hope that the economy continues to grow under Trump so that all Americans can thrive. However, we are skeptical. Most of all, we will not sit by and let Republicans claim credit for growth that remains Obama’s strongest legacy.

I am not a big fan of Trumps at all, however, he is creating a climate for growth and I am sure his optimistic words have helped, along with the gutting of so many rules.

The gutting of rules has me a bit concerned but I am not economically astute enough to pass any judgement.

I just do not want another recession because of a bubble creation and false "good times"

BUT, he has prompted positive feelings in the economic world.

There seem to be some rules he is gutting that will really hurt the consumer and average investor. He is great for the Fortune 500 and big banks.

Absolutely untrue. The "recovery" is a facade...paid for with a $ trillion a year in borrowing. The numbers are all fake.

The economy won't thrive...we're becoming a minority majority and that has NEVER ended well...never. Diversity to this extent ALWAYS ends in worsening conditions...ALWAYS.

There is not ONE diverse successful country...not one.

What do you think you've been living the past 9 years? A giant bubble...a series of bubbles...ALL kept afloat via a $ trillion a year in borrowing.

We borrow 1/4 of the federal budget every year. How long could YOU last if you had to borrow 1/4 of your yearly expenses? We spend $500,000,000,000 a year in interest payments alone...with an artificially low interest rate. There is talk of joining the rest of the world and creating a NEGATIVE interest rate bond. The WORLD economy is in shambles too...40% of sovereign bonds are negative. We NEVER pay off the debt, we roll it over into new debt. We owe 5 years of total income...$20 trillion is a lot of money. Whites have gone from 90% of the population to 49% and it's getting worse. Minority growth and the decline of the country is going hand in hand. The country WILL BE Mexico II within 30 years. It's a certainty.

Things are not and will not "get better", we're in a GIANT world economic bubble with a rising minority POOR population, and there's no way out. Short of sending them all out to war...having them kill each other. Yes, BOTH sides use their "poor" as cannon fodder. Wars DO help economies after the war ends. Plenty of things need to be done/made and many of the men are gone. Unemployment goes down and opportunity goes up. Broken window economics.

The "money" to pay for it? Just numbers in a computer...not even paper any more.

Rules and rule gutting is to the advantage of those who pay big money to have a candidate represent them.

Watch the video on the unemployment rate...

Somehow this went from phony to very real. Hypocritical but the Trumpsters will eat it up.

How about getting rid of the streams and ponds clean water act. I'm sure his hunter and fisher backers are all for that. They won't have to fish just net the dead fish and grab a deer and tag it that ate chemicals from a pondand died.

NOT QUITE ACCURATE. From Wikipedia;

On February 28, 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling on the EPA to reconsider their definition of "navigable water" in the Clean Water Act. His executive order was signed so that landowners could be protected from overreach by the EPA.[citation needed]
Effects[edit]
To date, the water quality goals stated by Congress in the 1972 act have not been achieved by American society:
"to make all U.S. waters fishable and swimmable by 1983;"
"to have zero water pollution discharge by 1985;"
"to prohibit discharge of toxic amounts of toxic pollutants".[76]:1
More than half of U.S. stream and river miles continue to violate water quality standards.[77]
One study finds that "most types of water pollution declined [over the period 1962-2001], though the rate of decrease slowed over time... Our finding of decreases in most pollutants implies that the prevalence of such violations was even greater before the Clean Water Act." Several studies have estimated that the costs of the CWA (which include the Title II construction grants program) are higher than the benefits. An EPA study had similar findings, but acknowledged that several kinds of benefits were unmeasured.[76]:2

If the figures showed a huge decline then I'm sure you would give that credit to Trump.

If, you THINK that the average investor will be hurt-first of all what the hell are you saying.
If, you think that Trump will be good for the Fortune 500 and the Banks-YOU SHOULD PUT YOUR INVESTMENT MONEY THERE. Your bank stock tip is about a year late.

HE TOOK CREDIT FOR THOMAS JEFFERSON, BEN FRANKLIN, ETC. OH AND HE BLAMED ALL OF HIS FAILURES ON THE REPUBLICANS. AL GORE-HE NOT ONLY INVENTED THE INTERNET BUT HE TURNED GLOBAL WARMING INTO A RELIGION AND HIS OWN PERSONAL CHECKBOOK.

TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTT. DECIDE WHERE WE GO FROM HERE.

OBAMA'S LEGACY-a divided population. a country with a new definition of racism where racism is not anti black but rather anti white. A new culture where hard work and success is evil. The growth of socialism-a view that I can and should take what I want from YOU. OH AND AN UNPAID BILL OF TEN TRILLION DOLLARS LEFT ON THE DESK.

Two old lines-Figures don't lie but liars can figure. Or perhaps as I do you find Facts, if you choke them hard enough will say anything you want. Our country has been taken over by progressive, SOCIALIST, liberals.

I was shocked to SEE that in 1950 the year of my birth, the population of the US was 180 million today it is 350 million. The population has doubled. Blacks were 8% of the population in 1950 today they are 13% so blacks have grown almost 4x. We throw about throw about the term minority. I am Jewish. Jews are 1.5% of the population of the US and the number of Jews in the US is the same as it was when I was born thus as a percentage of the population it is now half of what it was. In our politically corrected TAUGHT view YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TEACH OR TO SEE THE TRUTH.

Why did you leave out Hispanics? When you were born there were about 17 of them in the U.S....now they are 1/3, 100 million. They dropped 50 million anchor babies. They're the MAJORITY of children being born. They ARE breeding us out. Whites WERE 90% of the population when you were born...they are 49% now...it's dropped as much as the nations ranking...from #1 to #25.

The truth destroys the lies...the biggest being equality. That's the biggest social lie.

Stop getting your information from Fake News sources. Take initiative to do research and avoid being part of the "group think" libtards👽

As soon as the February jobs report was released, Trump and conservative media immediately jumped all over the report as proof that Trump is creating jobs in America as he promised to do during the campaign.

The problem is that Trump once called these jobs reports “phony” when they were issued under President Obama, who oversaw a record 75 consecutive months of job creation in this country.

But now that Trump is in office, he is touting the jobs reports as “real” and is taking credit for the job creation even though that job creation is directly tied to Obama’s economic policies — Trump has not yet done anything at all with regard to the economy.

Apparently, Trump watched Fox News on Tuesday morning and decided to brag on Twitter about the job creation.


Of course, Trump hasn’t been in office long enough to see what affect his economic policies will have on the job market. Plus he really hasn’t done much on the economy because all he has done so far is issue executive orders. Basically, Trump is trying to take credit for job creation that should be attributed to President Obama in order to make himself look competent.
