Is that he's not going to become President until January 20th, and even then it's going to take a while for any changes to the economy caused by his policies to be felt by the average Joe or Jane. There is a tremendous amount of inertia present in an economy the size of ours, as some of us remember even as things seemed to continue downhill for a couple of months after President Obama was sworn in back in January of 2009.

For better or worse (mostly the latter), it may be the Trumpublican GOP's rule, but it'll be President Obama's economy for a while yet.
