speaking of spending...
Trump has spent 13% more than Obama under the same first 2.5 years. If you account for inflation it’s only 3.2%. Still, Obama was spending on a government bailout, stimulus packages, welfare and unemployment in a terrible economy and Trump is spending it on… ? with a booming economy.
So, yes, again, the “economy” is doing great.
