That's fine. The next four years will be fun to watch.

And after the four years are over, let's compare metrics. Let's see how unemployment does after Trump. The last Republican president started with a great economy and a 4.9% unemployment rate, and eight years later the unemployment had doubled. Under Obama the unemployment was cut in half. I am a firm believe in the employment rate being an important indicator of the economy, so you had better believe I'll be here complaining if unemployment goes up.
