Once again.... You didn't read what you linked to.

It says "GDP is not a good way to measure a President" AND "Presidents inherit good or bad times from their predecessors".

First. Fucking. Paragraph.

Here is a direct quote:

Growth in gross domestic product is an obviously flawed measure of a president’s economic record. Presidents often inherit good times or bad times from their predecessors, events entirely outside a president’s control can push growth up or down, and the most consequential presidential economic decisions often prove consequential only years after that president has left office.

So basically what you just said is we shouldn't measure a president by GDP, and that Obama inherited a horrible economy while Trump inherited a great economy.

LOL. If that isn't bad enough, the article right below it has the headline "Don’t Be Shocked If Trump’s Economy Goes the Way of Bush’s" which we keep hearing again and again.

Your boy in office there just announced tariffs against China will more than double. #winning
