The man who said he wanted the economy to crash, you know... Trumpy.... well 3.3% GDP Growth announced today. Remember what the tangerine said in the past? Oh, let me refresh your memory :

Trump used to brag about less impressive GDP growth numbers and repeatedly said GDP increases translated to major economic gains for America.
Trump: “Right now we hit a 3.2. Nobody thought that was possible in four years. … Each point is $3 trillion and 10 million jobs. Just remember that.”
Trump: “If you look at GDP for the last quarter, it was 3 percent. Everybody was shocked to see that.”
Trump: “2.6 is a number that nobody thought they’d see for a long period of time. … 2.6 is an unbelievable number.”
Trump: “But we have GDP — if you raise — if you go up one point in GDP, it takes care of many sins. If you go up two points, it takes care of everything.”
Trump: “And the numbers — you know, if we go up one point in GDP – one point – it’s $3 trillion and it’s 10 million jobs. Think of that. One point.”
Trump: “But every time we go up one point, just so you understand, one point means $2.5 trillion, means 10 million jobs. So one point in GDP is an incredible statement. $2.5 trillion for each point, 10 million jobs for each point.”
