Scarborough, Rattner Agree: Economy Was Better Under Obama Than Trump

SCARBOROUGH Steve this is ░░░░░░░░ I find most remarkable ░░░░░░░░ this Is that I ░░░░░░░░ actually watching this network ░░░░░░░░ somebody was trying to ░░░░░░░░ something that Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ He said Of course ░░░░░░░░ economy is roaring and ░░░░░░░░ s doing better than ░░░░░░░░ s done and I ░░░░░░░░ there going How incredible ░░░░░░░░ his cheerleading has even ░░░░░░░░ people on this network ░░░░░░░░ it as an established ░░░░░░░░ that the economy is ░░░░░░░░ forward this year in ░░░░░░░░ way that it didn ░░░░░░░░ for the past seven ░░░░░░░░ Just let s put ░░░░░░░░ in context Some of ░░░░░░░░ things he said were ░░░░░░░░ some of them were ░░░░░░░░ some were just flat ░░░░░░░░ lies Job growth was ░░░░░░░░ under Barack Obama over ░░░░░░░░ years seven years after ░░░░░░░░ collapse than it was ░░░░░░░░ year under Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ first year Wage growth ░░░░░░░░ faster under Barack Obama ░░░░░░░░ you adjust for inflation ░░░░░░░░ maybe about the same ░░░░░░░░ the stock market the ░░░░░░░░ P grew faster under ░░░░░░░░ Obama than it did ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump Again I ░░░░░░░░ not saying the economy ░░░░░░░░ bad We re in ░░░░░░░░ pretty good spell right ░░░░░░░░ But this is after ░░░░░░░░ years of climbing out ░░░░░░░░ a bad situation And ░░░░░░░░ there aren t a ░░░░░░░░ of areas are there ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump has a ░░░░░░░░ that exceeds Barack Obama ░░░░░░░░ RATTNER No Look first ░░░░░░░░ all it s too ░░░░░░░░ for any president to ░░░░░░░░ this president himself is ░░░░░░░░ for what happened over ░░░░░░░░ past year I think ░░░░░░░░ the economy hadn t ░░░░░░░░ well Donald Trump would ░░░░░░░░ gotten up there and ░░░░░░░░ Barack Obama He wouldn ░░░░░░░░ have said Well I ░░░░░░░░ a bad first year ░░░░░░░░ would have said I ░░░░░░░░ this mess and it ░░░░░░░░ still going on He ░░░░░░░░ to have inherited an ░░░░░░░░ that was doing well ░░░░░░░░ as you said the ░░░░░░░░ grew faster in the ░░░░░░░░ 3 years of Obama ░░░░░░░░ it did in the ░░░░░░░░ year under Trump Your ░░░░░░░░ facts are right as ░░░░░░░░ The declining unemployment rates ░░░░░░░░ low rates for African ░░░░░░░░ this has nothing to ░░░░░░░░ with Donald Trump This ░░░░░░░░ a continuation of a ░░░░░░░░ that s been going ░░░░░░░░ for a while SCARBOROUGH ░░░░░░░░ it s important for ░░░░░░░░ that are watching the ░░░░░░░░ that support Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ are Republicans that are ░░░░░░░░ of my family if ░░░░░░░░ all my friends from ░░░░░░░░ First Baptist Church in ░░░░░░░░ all of my friends ░░░░░░░░ Pensacola if you look ░░░░░░░░ it s all in ░░░░░░░░ charts it is all ░░░░░░░░ numbers You can look ░░░░░░░░ every chart I think ░░░░░░░░ of the few things ░░░░░░░░ s no doubt that ░░░░░░░░ corporations are thrilled with ░░░░░░░░ tax cuts they ve ░░░░░░░░ There s no doubt ░░░░░░░░ consumer confidence is higher ░░░░░░░░ it s been But ░░░░░░░░ part because as Glen ░░░░░░░░ said economist to Republican ░░░░░░░░ his quote to The ░░░░░░░░ York Times was that ░░░░░░░░ Trump is just a ░░░░░░░░ cheerleader than Barack Obama ░░░░░░░░ We needed a corporate ░░░░░░░░ reform Barack Obama proposed ░░░░░░░░ corporate tax reform But ░░░░░░░░ corporate tax reform was ░░░░░░░░ for in large part ░░░░░░░░ high income residents of ░░░░░░░░ blue states whose state ░░░░░░░░ local tax deductions the ░░░░░░░░ took away to pay ░░░░░░░░ it It was paid ░░░░░░░░ by regressive tax cuts ░░░░░░░░ help the rich more ░░░░░░░░ they help the poor ░░░░░░░░ it s not something ░░░░░░░░ you can look at ░░░░░░░░ say this is great ░░░░░░░░ having a high stock ░░░░░░░░ is good for America ░░░░░░░░ s no question about ░░░░░░░░ And Donald Trump has ░░░░░░░░ a role in that ░░░░░░░░ it principally benefits the ░░░░░░░░ and we shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ around that.”
