Thank you President Obama.

Thank you President Obama.

...... it was stagnant for most of 2015 and 2016

Financial crises usually take awhile to get over. Thankfully with the sound leadership of Barack Hussein Obama, we're a much stronger country now than we were in 2008. Trump, as is typical with his entire life, inherited his predecessor's success story.

Hate to break it to you, but if people in industrial areas were happy with the situation during obama's 8 years, they wouldn't have voted in such large numbers for a republican reality tv star. Trump won industrial counties like erie and trubmull by margins even reagan couldn't get.

Reagan actually won the popular vote both times so the point is moot.

Needless to say, Trump's electoral prowess doesn't mean that he's deserving of credit for macroeconomic trends that are typically only impacted by governmental policies (if at all) from years past.

You didn't comprehend my post. I said that in *industrial* regions, trump won many counties that hadn't gone republican since 1972 or 1928, regions where manufacturing and industry make up a large proportion of activity. These were/are reliably democratic regions, and even during the reagan landslides, they were still favorable to democrats. These are places like north east ohio, southeast minnesota, and northwest wisconsin. These industrial places swung hard against the incumbent party. IF industry was doing well in these places, as you have asserted, why did the incumbent party do so poorly?

I am going to repeat myself one final time: Trump's electoral prowess (even if it's in muh industrial areas) doesn't mean that he's deserving of credit for macroeconomic trends that are typically only impacted by governmental policies (if at all) from years past, including those that may or may not pertain toward industrial production.

Ok that is fine and fair, but if industry continues to improve for the next few years, how can you go to these places and argue that trump has been bad for business? It's all about narrative, and friendly economic data prevents that.

I wouldn't argue that.
