Did you agree with candidate Trump's attacks on President Obama's handling of the economy in 2016?
If so, why?
The incomes of middle-class Americans rose last year to the highest level ever recorded by the Census Bureau, as poverty declined and the scars of the past decade’s Great Recession seemed to finally fade.
Median household income rose to $59,039 in 2016, a 3.2 percent increase from the previous year and the second consecutive year of healthy gains, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. The nation’s poverty rate fell to 12.7 percent, returning nearly to what it was in 2007 before a financial crisis and deep recession walloped workers in ways that were still felt years later.
The new data, along with another census report showing the rate of Americans lacking health insurance to be at its lowest ever last year, suggest that Americans were actually in a position of increasing financial strength as President Trump, who tapped into anger about the economy, took office this year.

It's typical Republican hypocrisy. If you see things like stupid Fox News, you would see them talking about how the economy is failing at the end of Obama's term. Obviously, it was all subjective propaganda, because the numbers were amazing. Then 90 days into Trump's presidency, they boast all of those numbers, even though they had practically not changed at all. Yes, this source is a real tweet from Fox. They skew any numbers they can in order to try to make Democrats look bad. Even though the numbers obviously are due to the preceding presidents, they accredit the numbers to the newly assumed ones.

In other words Obama continued to preside over the slowest recovery in history. After Democrats crashed the economy in 2007 it has taken nearly a decade to gain back what was lost.
That sounds like it deserves some criticism

You have your question backward. It is PRESIDENT Trump on Obama, not Trump on President Obama. Obama was not a real President, but rather a fraud.
In other words, there is no such thing as a "President Obama."
