Scarborough credits Obama for strong economy: 'This is not an economy Donald Trump gave us'
By Joe Concha - 08/06/18 08:50 AM EDT

Former President Barack Obama deserves more credit for the strong U.S. economy than President Trump, according to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough.

"Yeah, it's a strong economy," Scarborough told "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski. "But Mika, this is not an economy that Donald Trump gave us. This is an economy that's part of the seven year ongoing recovery."

Scarborough also said that this "isn't the greatest economy ever" and that it "isn't close to the greatest economy ever."

"Barack Obama had more people getting jobs his last 16 or 18 months than they had jobs during Donald Trump's first 16 or 18 months," he said.

Job growth has been strong under Trump, and the unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent in July, according to government numbers released on Friday.

While I agree with the statement that this isn’t the greatest economy ever, BHO never had a single year with 3% or greater GDP. And the economy under performed during his tenure despite stimulus, which didn’t do much except add to the debt. And Federal Reserve actions like QEs and Operation Twist. Trump has rolled back many of BHO’s regulations

Too early to say if Trump will become the second President to not have one year of 3% since WW2 or if BHO will hold that honor
