Actually, the Obama Administration continued and doubled down on many Bush era economic policies, including tax cuts:

Quote

Contrary to Democratic propaganda (and conventional wisdom), it’s the current incumbent much more than his Republican challenger who has remixed the toxic Bush cocktail of increased spending and declining revenue, promising a punishing hangover of looming national bankruptcy.

Well, according to the alternative conservative media website RightEdition it did happen.

I took a look at this ... website. Interesting to learn you can eliminate prostate cancer with apple peels, that Richard Spencer is a 'deep plant' of the governments, and that getting the flu shot damages your immune system. :P

I'll bet if it wasn't a success, you'd be pointing to Trump then.

If I could see what he'd done that was responsible, yes.

Can YOU point out what Trump has done that is responsible?

I pointed out earlier that it continued and has not faltered since he took office. Quite certain the upswing corresponds rather sharply with election day, but that's old news now. I get the feeling I have to remind people a lot of what happened before, sometimes.

Trump seeks to revive the nuclear power industry in America. This is a very positive step for energy security, and protecting the environment.

Trump Puts Nuclear First on America’s Energy Agenda

Trump announces efforts to revive nuclear energy

All thanks to Rick Perry, the Energy Secretary of the United States. You might remember Rick as the guy running for president who couldn't remember what dept. he wanted to eliminate during a TV debate. The dept's name you ask?... Energy!

No one can say Donald Trump has no sense of humour

He seems to brag a lot about reinventing the coal industry...cough, cough.

Coal plants will be fired up to make up for the shortfall until new nuclear powered generator stations can be made.

Yeah he leaves the Paris Accord, which puts the US in league Syria and Nicaragua, and then stumbles around with a sign around his neck  celebrating "Trump Digs Coal". tsk, tsk.

Yes, and you've missed the point as usual. But it doesn't matter. Carry on.

Fossil fuels are on their way out, renewables on the way in. I'd say it's you who have missed the point.

Again a little research would help you tripping up so often. Obama inherited an economy that was freefall and in the worst state since the '30's. His administration saw a very solid recovery which he has now handed to Trump. We'll see what happens under Trump. I bet the debt goes through the roof.

Why did the Dow Jones hit an all time high while Trump was president then? Obama had nothing to do with that. All Obama did was hand Trump a bloody economic mess, and who was involved in the uranium Russian scandal along with Hillary. What a guy he was. 

Btw? No impeachment today. Maybe next week, eh? :D

Your historical knowledge must come from Breitbart. Go look at the economy Obama rec'd from Bush. Go see what he handed to Trump. Get back to us when you get educated.

The economy is doing much better now that Trump is president. Bush and Obama nor the Clinton's didn't give a crap about America. That is why Trump has to be the one to fix the mess they left him because there is no one else willing to do the job. The economy is up, the jobs are up, and the markets are up. Thanks to Trump that part of his agenda is being fulfilled. 

Thanks to websites like Breitbart, I am being educated everyday as to how this crooked and corrupt system that you appear to support really works. If it were not for websites like Breitbart, I would be just as brainwashed as you are. The thought of that gives me the willy's. Geez, I wonder if Trump will be impeached this week? 

It still amazes me as to how you prefer to keep running down Trump when he hasn't even done anything bad yet, but never say a bad word about Obama or the Clinton's and the bloody mess they left America in. Thanks to websites like Breitbart we are all starting to learn that Obama and the Clinton's committed many criminal acts and were both liars and all this was happening under their watch. The lying and fake media keep trying to cover this all up. You are the one that needs to educate yourself, not me. I am doing just fine without you. :D

SURPRISE!

Here's what a Democrat ex-President has to say:

 

Quote

 

Jimmy Carter defends Trump in a wide-ranging New York Times interview

He said although Trump may be contributing to the souring of America's image in the world, the declining image of America "precedes Trump."

Carter was not as bothered by Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and disagreed with his wife about the impact of Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, saying "I don't think there's any evidence that what the Russians did changed enough votes, or any votes."

Carter claimed that the "media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I've known about," saying that reporters felt "free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.

And....

 

Quote

He knocked former President Barack Obama's decision to bomb Yemen, as well as his refusal to hold more serious discussions with North Korea.

Good for him. He seeks to revive the coal industry too, but he hasn't done that either.

He's too busy reviving the chemical industry by letting them kill people.

Both are sensible moves to make, given years of stagnation based on people's irrational fear of nuclear power. Coal is needed as a short term fix, until nuclear can get off its knees again.

Another judicial win for President Trump:

Quote

SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge in California on Wednesday refused to block President Donald Trump's decision to end subsidy payments to health insurers under Obamacare, rejecting a request by Democratic attorneys general from 18 U.S. states.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco sided with the Trump administration, saying the government does not have to make the payments while litigation over the subsidies unfolds.

And the knocking of Trump goes on every day on CNN, MSNBC and the CBC. One will not find one day go by without those three mentioned fake news outfits from knocking Trump. It's endless with them and getting to be downright pathetic and boring. Yet there are many fools out there who will still listen to those fake and phony news outfits and their lies and deceptions.

Every week there is something on TV about Hitler. Stalin and Mao being left out for some unknown reason every week. Two of the worse butchers and murderers that ever existed in the world, except maybe for Genghis Khan, and all they can do is show something about Hitler. The liberal lame duck media always enjoys spreading lies and propaganda and have great difficulty in tying to tell the truth. Carter may have not been the brightest president, but at least he will tell it like it is, and so does Trump.

Obama also promised that GITMO would be closed in his first term. .. I will also add that closing Gitmo would have been easier than reviving the coal industry. Trump has been in office one year. Give it some time.

Trump gives himself a perfect score on his response to the Puerto Rico hurricane. Anybody with even half a brain would give him a kick in the ass. How far out of touch can this man be?

I agree, his response to Puerto Rico was and continues to be terrible.  Maybe they decided to write the US island territory  off (because it is not a sovereign nation) as Puerto Rico had declared bankruptcy some years back.
