Before Trump our economy was crap. Even with Covid still going on he's getting things back to the way they were pre-covid. Like him, hate him, or whatever he's the best man to get the economy back. Especially compared to a lifetime politician who's accomplished nothing in almost 50 years of government service other than being VP during the time our economy went to crap when there was no virus like Covid.
Trump literally was riding the economic wave from the Obama years. He wasn't doing anything to make the economy any better. Honestly, he couldn't have because the president has very little impact on that sort of thing, but yeah. The growth pattern was quite literally just a continuation of what was happening before he was in office.
