Eight years of "The great recovery is right around the corner. We prevented disaster, and now we're just days away from the roaring upturn. Don't worry about those bad numbers, only look at these ones that look better. Just think how bad things would be if we hadn't done the things we did. Any minute now we'll see that growth, just you see." And wonktards like Paul Krugman and Vox tried to convince us that it was stupid to think otherwise.
Then on November 9th, the markets suddenly get super optimistic, and they still cling unquestioningly to the idea that it's connected to Obama.
This idiot is right about one thing, though. People are just barely starting to feel the effect of Trump's presidency. What they don't realize that people's happiness with Trump will increase as those effects are felt.
