A prominent anti Trumper once openly called for recession to help defeat Trump and the recession theme was taken up by a number of main stream media.
So far the US economy has done better than many first World economies and has shown tremendous resilience.
The recent jobs report is testament to that.
Trump is beginning his fourth year. Therefore it is safe to say the economy is his.
He has gambled on claiming it early since when he was a candidate he had severely criticized the metric used to describe it.
It seems his luck is holding. If it stays with him till November the odds for second term is much improved.
