Actually, the "Great Recession" (like the Great Depression) actually occurred on the Democratic successor's watch. The "Great Recession" (like the Great Depression) was pretty much over by the time the new (democratic) administration settled in (and started getting their policies implemented). The "Great Recession" (like the Great Depression) refers to the lack of a full recovery for a decade after the downturn ended. But thanks to lefty historians and news operations, and millions of gullible people like you, the meme survives that it was all because of what happened before the anti-capitalist policies were applied. But I think we got our proof of that in 2017, when despite Trump's failure to get any legislation passed, and simply through Executive Actions that rolled back much of the Obama agenda, we saw the economy (finally) recover back to its long term GDP growth trend, we saw a resurgence in manufacturing jobs, we saw businesses actually expanding and repatriating investment in the US economy. I know, that's a rather nuanced take, and you lefties don't do nuance, but it is what it is...
