Can President Trump Really Take Credit for a Good Economy?
Since becoming president, Donald Trump has made several claims that appear to take credit for improvements to the American economy, as well as gains in the stock market. That can be a dangerous thing for any leader to do, especially if the economy or the markets start shifting in a negative direction.
But it's also a bit premature for President Trump to start making claims of any kind. America is only eight months into the Trump Administration, which means that most of what's going on in the economy right now is a carryover from the previous administration.
Let's take a quick look at what specifically Trump has said and whether the data backs up any of his claims.
