He gave a speech earlier this week taking credit for the entire Trump economy. With a straight face.

We’re headed for a slow down.

Not looking at the stack of quotes on my desk. Although it has to slow down at some point, which I fully expect dems and the media to exploit.

for some perspective (yes I now Trumptard will say all economic data was "fake" until the day Trump was sworn in)

We’re headed for a slow down.

We've been heading for a slow down for 9 years, so when it arrives, no one should be shocked. 

If 4th quarter GDP is just 1.7%, 2018 will match the best of the Obama years: 2.9% in 2015.

I disagree.

This hasn't been one long recovery started by Obama and now reaching fever pitch under Trump, eventually cooling down after overheating.

This is two economic cycles. Under Obama, 3%, the weakest recovery ever after a recession, business strangled by high taxes, overregulation, a ban on oil drilling in coastal areas and Alaska, and the unpunished act of outsourcing jobs and factories overseas to inflate executive pay in the private sector. That has all but disappeared now due to Trump's movement on all those issues. The drilling thing is going to have to wait until after the midterms, ditto with immigration reform and the wall. But he's accomplished much if his first term program already. The Russia probe's an expensive joke. Even the woman who was accusing him just lost her lawyer because he ripped off his partners and has gone back to dancing for money.

The slowdown isnt going for several more years.

I was going for low-hanging fruit.  A recession is inevitable; I just can't pick a time frame.  I and my 401k thank the current administration for removing the wet blankets the previous administration dropped on the economy.
