Leibowitz: Measuring the Economic Performance of Presidents Over the Last 100 Years

Trade attorney and Steel Market Update contributor Lewis Leibowitz offers the following update on events in Washington:

This campaign, like all others, is about many issues. The economy, though, is clearly the most powerful message of the Trump campaign. Over the last century or so, where does the Trump economy rank? There are many different measures one could use to compare the economic record of past presidents. I’ll use trade, the stock market, GDP growth and unemployment. I invite readers to suggest their own measurements.
