And Obama lost millions of jobs in his first 3 years.
When Obama was elected, the stock market tanked even further in the first 2 months before he was inaugurated. In anticipation of his anti-business policies.
When Trump was elected, after an initial day or two of decline when the Trump-hating media tried to scare America into a self-fulfilling recession they predicted, the market actually rose for 2 months in anticipation of Trump's pro-business policies.
Your argument is a very narrow context of a few months of Obama's presidency. Similar to where W.Bush and McCain championed a "troop surge" in Iraq that Obama opposed, and then after Obama was inaugurated he took credit for "winning the war" that he ironically opposed every step of the way. Then in December 2011 Obama withdrew all troops from Iraq and set the stage for ISIS to invade and conquer half the country, and caused millions of islamic refugees to flee to the U.S. and Europe. In the same mentality, Democrats can say "Obama created the greeatest peace in Iraq for 20 months". When in truth whatever peace occurred was in spite of, not because of, Obama.
i.e., a false narrative of cherry-picking a few months out of 8 years, that masks that Trump in 22 months has created the best economy in decades, far exceeding the economic success under Obama, W. Bush, and even Clinton. Again: If it was better economic numbers than under W. Bush, who preceded Obama, it was certainly better than under Obama.
