No it's not meaningful because a) there is no specific actions of Trump that can be pointed towards it, and b) the GDP is still below where it was at the beginning of the year.This recovery obviously isn't meaningful, because it has taken place under Trump's leadership. There is no way to tie it to Obama. Truth be told, had Obama-Biden still been in office, we could be experiencing yet another of their vaporware "PIVOT TO JOBS", since Obama admittedly had no "magic wand" to bring them back. And don't forget, "J-O-B-S" remains one of Biden's favorite "three-letter words".
33% growth is great, but it only brings the GDP back to where it was in the first quarter of 2018.

So you are admitting that the gdp decreases cannot be attributed to him either? That's a first.No it's not meaningful because a) there is no specific actions of Trump that can be pointed towards it, and b) the GDP is still below where it was at the beginning of the year.
And since he is not responsible for the increase he can't be responsible for the decrease.Do you have anything else to add? Like how President Trump was responsible, or response to the criticism that the GDP is still down 11 percent from where it was at the beginning of the year?
No I am not. I wish you would stop putting words in my mouth. I wil lsay that the whole decrease is not attributable to him. But an uncertain amount of it can probably be linked to actions or inaction involving the pandemic.So you are admitting that the gdp decreases cannot be attributed to him either? That's a first.
I can shoot somebody and be responsible for them going to the hospital. The doctors can then fix him and get him out of the hospital. I made him worst, but not better. The two don't have to be linked.And since he is not responsible for the increase he can't be responsible for the decrease.
Not putting words in your mouth; just analyzing your response. Sorry, you cant have it both ways. He can't be responsible for the decrease and not responsible for the increase....not understanding that basic principle is ludicrous....and your response states that since a person cannot point to anything he has done to cause the increase he cannot be given credit for it....am I correct?(Like how President Trump was responsible, or response to the criticism that the GDP is still down 11 percent from where it was at the beginning of the year?...see post #9) If not, please restate your premise.No I am not. I wish you would stop putting words in my mouth. I wil lsay that the whole decrease is not attributable to him.

It is a good thing.Some will find a way of seeing this as negative. Myself I'm glad to see any improvement at all.
It is a good thing.
But ... does it outweigh all of the bad things ???
