I don't mean taxes, spending, regulations, trade policy, etc. are irrelevant. Nor that December's strong jobs report isn't good news. Just that it's weird seeing people give the president so much credit/blame. Especially when the president changed and job growth didn't.

Can Trump claim any credit for the economy doing well due to his drive for deregulation?

If the deregulation spurs significant investment, that''ll mostly show up in growth later. But I think he (and Congress) can claim some credit for the stock market rally. That's mostly about expectations and capital flows. Tax cuts and deregulation spurred Wall St. expectations.

I've consistently held this position since I studied econ in college 18 years ago. But I didn't post on Twitter until 2016. The closest example I can give you is arguing with people who blamed Trump for the weak Sept 2017 report. You're welcome to go through my feed and find it.

They do exert influence on the fundamentals that make or favor a good econ growth (regulatory system, fiscal, trade, education, etc policies). Saying that the economy is independent of any endogenous or exogenous state variable flies at the face of a truckload of literature
