Mar 2018

Like Presidents before him, Trump inherited the economy, historians usually just chalk up the first year to the previous administration.

Usually, Presidents are cautious enough not to try to take credit for the economy in the first year as they'll spend their blame card. This is now Trump's economy, his decisions are taking effect, he should have kept his mouth shut in 2017 because now he can't blame Obama for this.
