Obama: America is not in decline, Trump lacks ‘magic wand’ to grow economy

Obama: America is not in decline, Trump lacks ‘magic wand’ to grow economy: President Obama defended his economic record on Wednesday during a visit to an Indiana city that has come to symbolize the nation’s uneven recovery, saying that he created millions of new jobs and questioning Republican Donald Trump’s ability to steer the economy in the right direction. In a far-ranging interview and town-hall event with PBS NewsHour in Elkhart, President Obama touted the economic gains seen under his watch in hard-hit counties like Elkhart, where the unemployment rate soared to nearly 20 percent soon after he took office.

And now it is hitting this presidential election with full force. I am a professor at the state’s flagship public university, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and also a life-long Wisconsinite.
