The economic recovery--which is global, not just in the US--began under Obama, who started out following the same formula as Bush: "Too big to fail." Some of the stock market gains (until very recently) could be attributed to Trump's pro-business rhetoric, but overseas exchanges actually have risen more than ours.
BUT: it's hardly unusual for a sitting president to take credit for good things begun by his predecessor. Obama took the victory lap when Bin Laden was killed, but Bush did most of the heavy lifting in finding Bin Laden.
The fact that overseas exchanges have risen higher to that of the US proves that the Obama's domestic economic policies were a failure.
The economy crashed in 2008 under Bush's watch, it had no way to go but up.
Furthermore you are comparing 8 years of Obama policies to 1 year of Trump's.Recent stock markets gains
are attributed to Trump
not could be attributed.
