All the Economic News is Not Good
Trump continues to claim credit for the economic recovery that was well under way, and handed to him by Pres. Obama, when he took office. His supporters acted as if the Dow hitting 20,000 was Trump’s work alone, possibly because their guy told them so. As the unemployment rate continues the decline it was already experiencing under Obama, Trump will no doubt bask in the glory.
But there’s another economic number that Trump can rightfully own. The decline in the strength of the U.S. dollar is all on him.
