Title: U.S. GDP - slowest growth in three years UNDER TRUMP!

The government’s official scorecard for the U.S. economy in the first quarter pointed to the weakest growth in three years, but the slowdown appeared tied to temporary effects that are likely to give way a rebound in the coming months.

Gross domestic product increased at a meager 0.7% annual pace in the first three months of the year, down from 2.1% and 3.5% in the back half of 2016. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 0.9% increase.

Well Trump has been in office 100 days (three months or so), and I am not seeing any significant economic improvements.  What is taking so long?

 Funny how the MSM wasn't the least bit concerned while BHO was president, and the Progressive Liberals tried to convince us it was "no big deal" and this was "just the way it was".

Meh... One quarter of data, don't believe you can draw any conclusions from that.  After four quarters, different story.
