UK and France also experienced a Q1 slow down. Stock markets are in rude health though, so who cares?

This isn't just a problem for Trump. Low growth rates, poor wage growth, low productivity growth rates, and booming debt are all problems for a lot of countries. It's almost certain we are in for another crash. The only question is when.

It's Trump's fault, though. He didn't fix the economy in his first 100 days.

Well according to Fox News he fixed unemployment better than the others in the first 100 days. :fp:

Nothing he did could have had much of an effect on the economy in the first 100 days. Even in the first year, the President's policies generally haven't yet taken effect. We're still under Obama and the previous Congress' policies as we carry over.

He didn't do anything. And neither did the former presidents. But that didn't stop Fox presenting a bullshit argument.
