To be fair, all presidents probably wind up realizing its harder than it looks. And in regards to economic activity, always wait for the revisions to increase or decrease it. The initial numbers usually are lower and also Q1 is always pretty low compared to the rest of the year.

Obviously a lot of people would rather not admit it, being that Obama has the wrong letter after his name, but economically the US has been rebounding for years now. That it's beginning to taper (and maybe even correct a little) is to be expected after such a long run, frankly. The biggest threat trump represents economically is creating stupid barriers to trade and growth...and generally disgusting the rest of the world to the point where they'd rather make a little less and do business with someone else.
Maybe he'll be able to trade a short term boost for trillions in debt via tax policy at a more politically useful time down the road. Doesn't sound like its going to track right now.

Hell, while the equity indices are doing well under Trump maybe actual trade and forward looking expectations are dimming for the US because of Trump? Maybe outside investment in the US is on pause until we know what the f**k Trump is going to do?
