There's not any actual evidence of sluggish GDP growth, it's really just anti-Obama pundits, like this guy:

choose "trend line". You'll see that 2015/2016 GDP growth is precisely on the trend line. The main difference in the last 8 years is more stable GDP growth, rather than the extreme peaks and troughs of the previous 60 years.

I live in Canada and don't have a dog in this race, but I find it interesting that Americans are so obvlivious of the facts and willing to believe at face value all the BS that comes out of the likes of Trump.
