Way back in the winter of 2007 and 2008, bone headed Wall Street banks managed to crash the global economy with too many "credit default swaps". The resulting recession knocked our GNP growth down from 3.5% a year to zilch. And Obama took office. For the next 8 years Obama manage to hold GNP growth down below 2%. He even got financial commentators to write that 2% was the right growth rate. Then Trump took office. He got our GNP growth back up to 3.5% where it belongs. He brought the stock market up to new highs. He brought unemployment down to 3%. And when the Corona virus struck in 2020 he spearheaded operation Warp Speed that brought a vaccine into production in only a few months.
Not too shabby.
