1. If the DJIA had performed for Trump like it did Obama

It would be over 34,000, instead of the 29,500 it's at now. A little fact that acts like troll-b-gone online.

7. To add insult to injury. Obama did it while reducing the deficit's he inherited

Not only did he reduce the deficits, grew the stock market & job markets, Obama reduced the deficits as a percentage of GDP.

Trump inherited all that, doubled the annual deficit, increased the deficit as a percentage of GDP by 34% in just the last year, and didn't grow as many jobs despite subsidizing the wealthiest Americans with a hefty deficit ballooning tax cut.

It's another episode of dumb rePuticans failing to carry through on their fiscal conservative messaging.
