Short-term econ numbers aren't a good gauge of presidential performance. Or even a good gauge of the economy, esp when there's reason for unusual short-term behavior. And yes, I wrote the same thing (on this very website) when Sept 2017 had the worst job growth numbers in years.

Presidents don't control the economy. Often, they barely influence it. Bad Sept '17 job numbers were caused by weather. Hurricanes disrupted hiring, which, as predicted, rebounded afterwards. Oct '17 had best job growth of the year. Neither number said anything about Trump.
