Trump has done almost nothing to change it. It's doing well because of Obama.

We're coming up on a year of record highs. How long does one have to wait until a President is allowed to take credit?
People should describe a policy, and a means for that policy to have made a difference to the economy, when taking credit. Otherwise it's like taking credit for the sun rising.
At the very least until their first budget goes into effect. This is not a new concept. It's why the stupid right wing memes in like.. April were all "Obamas first 100 days vs Trumps first 100" - because Obama was dealing with the freaking recession and the Bush policies and budget.

Again - this is not new.

Depends on whether the hearer likes or dislikes him.
