Contrary to his claims, Trump did not steer the economy away from looming disaster toward an unlikely boom, writes John Harwood
Washington His reelection bid accelerating, President Donald Trump has again seized credit for an economic turnaround, claimed record job creation and accused his predecessor of a"con job" on the subject.
His claims make sense as a matter of bombastic Trumpian politics. All presidential incumbents surf positive economic developments on their watch in asking voters for another term. But as a matter of economics, the President's words ring as empty as his musings on North Korean denuclearization or his still non-existent proposal to replace the Affordable Care Act. Each of Trump's core economic claims lacks merit.
