Ultimately Washington Post's "Fact Check" (i.e., liberal W Post reporters who clearly voted for Obama and Hillary) say "You can't give credit to one president" and that gives Trump two "FactCheck" Pinnochios from the outset. BUT THEN THEY SPEND THE WHOLE ARTICLE ARGUING THAT ONE PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TRUMP'S FIRST YEAR OF ECONOMIC GROWTH!

Hypocritical much?

The stock market rose immediately after Trump's Nov 2016 election in anticipation of what Trump would enact as president in his economic policy: de-regulation, lower taxes, and abolishing Obamacare (or at least abolishing the individual mandate, and penalties for opting out).
When you average the numbers over those years, averaging the worst years of job loss with the inevitable years of growth after the Great Recession bottomed out, Obama did not out-perform Trump. The Washington Post "FactCheck", liberal Obama/Hillary voter reporters all, found a context where they could manipulate the numbers to promote their side and bash Trump. But only in that narrow context.
2009 -5,068,000
2010 +1,061,000
2011 +2,091,000
2012 +2,142,000
2013 +2,302,000
2014 +2,998,000
2015 +2,713,000
2016 +2,240,000
Average of those 8 years: 1,309,000 jobs annually.

Trump's first year out the gate, not including December 2017:
1,700,000

Annual GDP growth average under Obama:
Never reached 3%.
Annual growth under Trump:
3.3%

I could go through each of these measures showing the smoke and mirrors used by the W Post ("FactCheck") to pump up Obama to be something he wasn't.

When W. Bush took office, you blamed W. Bush for a recession that began in the economic slowdown the last year Bill Clinton was in office, and reached the third quarter of negative economic growth to officially meet the defined criteria of a recession within days of when W. Bush was inaugurated. But there you blamed Bush, not his Democrat predecessor.

When the economy tanked under Obama, you blamed W. Bush for the policy that preceded it.
Now that the economy is booming under Trump, you allege that Obama's policy is what is causing Trump's success, despite a 180-degree turn of the economic ship under Trump's administration! This is not a continuation of Obama policy, this is a full rejection of it! A rejection of Obama that moves the economy in a less bureaucratic, more pro-business, more pro-growth direction.
