Only dullards or partisans claim that Trump did not boost the economy.
These fools should put their money on the line. I would like to see them bankrupt- and with zero federal aid.

It looks to me like your data supports the 80/20 (Pareto) rule. And if that's the case, O had the easy 80% and T the hard 20%.
Even the easy 80% was prolonged compared to previous recession recoveries--see The Numbers Game where you can find four videos explaining that.
BTW, I wouldn't call the current economic situation a boom, just slow steady growth.

More than half the health care industry is insurance. We survived many centuries without insurance along with lawyers and they made your health care far more expensive. Government did not get involved with your retirement or health care until very recent history.

Meamwhile more jobs which were lost forever are returning, new jobs are being created, wages are rising and the stock exchange continues to post new record highs.
If Democrats plan on running against the condition of the economy, they'll look foolish

The difference being is the real gains for the common man. Wages up another 3% year over year according to the Department of Labor. Unemployment up a tick to 3.6%. That is not Obama's economy.

Obama's economy was sluggish coming back, and stayed sluggish. Confidence was mediocre at best.
Trump has many flaws to be sure, but one cannot say that Obama had any economic influence at this point.
