Obama on ‘Pretty Good Economy’ Under Trump: ‘That Was My Economy’

TRANSCRIPT:

OBAMA: “And the reason some people think, well, I don’t know, I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good — yeah, it was pretty good because it was my economy. (cheers and applause) We had had 75 straight months of job growth that I handed over to him. It wasn’t something he did. I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time. (cheers and applause) So just in case everybody has a hazy memory, he didn’t — he didn’t do nothing. Except those big tax cuts. His other big economic plan now is to slap tariffs on everything from food to TVs. Now, understand what tariffs are.”
