I guess it all depends on who you talk to. Democrats give him most of the credit for the economy while Trump supporters will say it is all Trump.

I feel Presidents always get too much credit for a good economy and take too much blame for a bad economy. That said, if we are assigning credit to them, I think Obama deserves a good chunk of it. He got the ball rolling and the economy was doing well and had been doing well for a while when Trump took office. Yes, he cut taxes and said things that made a lot of businesses happy so the stock market has gone up, and he does deserve some credit for it, but I kind of feel like Obama built the house, Trump came in, hung some sheet rock, painted it, and sold it for a nice profit.

I saw someone say it very well the other night when he said Obama's problem is that he didn't really know how to sell the good economy where Trump does.
