Trump mentions impressive 2.6% growth rate for the quarter along with incredible stock market gains...

Then MSNBC's affirmative action squad claims that under Obama there were 14 quarters with GDP at 2.6% or above, including 8 quarters above 3%.

We were there, bitches. The total for his 8 years was 1.8%!!! Lies. Will not watch.

I have no idea whether either of these numbers are true, but they don't contradict each other. If the average growth over eight years was 1.8% then it could've easily been above 3% for some quarters (it just would've been lower for others).

What is the lie? How many Obama quarters were at 2.6% or above? How many were above 3%?

Barack Obama Is Now The Only President In History To Never Have A Year Of 3% GDP Growth

quote:

Trump said, "Obama is the first president in modern history not to have a single year of 3 percent growth."

Although Trump’s light on specifics, that’s accurate if he is looking solely at year-over-year figures for GDP growth going back to the Hoover administration. Experts told us that presenting the stats the way Trump did doesn't tell the whole story. And if we examine the data annually by quarters, Obama has presided over periods of growth topping 3 percent.

We rate the statement Mostly True.

If he had 14 quarters (3.5 years) of 2.6%+, to get to 1.8% total he had to have the remaining 18q (4.5 years) below 0.9%.

if he spent 8 quarters over 3% its somewhat around .7% over 4.5 years.
with that being said the numbers aren't contradictory, but he spent the majority of his presidency averaging much less than 1%

I don't believe it

Liberal peoples are pure as the driven snow!

They would never lie, cheat, steal, and only want what is best for their fellow man.

They want what is best for their fellow man so bad that they just might engage in what appears to be shades of the above but only because their fellow man isn't smart enough to know what is best for themselves.

I dunno, maybe MSNBC and the OP cancelled each other out and they're accurate?

I like that the OP got triggered by facts and his first inclination was to run to his safe space to find a support group.
