The U.S. econ­omy grew at its slow­est pace since 2016 last year.

Fourth quarter growth was 2.1% and annual growth was just 2.3%.

Both numbers were far below the 6 percent growth Trump predicted, and his tax cuts have yet to pay for themselves. https://t.co/dwZDgiE4KS

Republicans promised the tax cuts would make the economy take off like a rocket.

Trump promised GDP growth as high as 6 pct. https://t.co/WgQvDKetsy

About that great Trump economy: Last May, @Larry_Kudlow said the US "will grow at 3% as far as the eye can see." Apparently, Larry has myopia. https://t.co/qu6TZFcRek

The U.S. economy grew 2.1% in the fourth quarter, matching estimates.

The 2.3% growth in U.S. gross domestic product for the full year was below the 2.9% increase from 2018 and the 2.4% gain in 2017.https://t.co/UrEvI2OmI4

We won’t be hearing much from @realDonaldTrump on the economy today. Q4 is in at 2.1%. It’s 2.3% for the year. Not anywhere near the 4-5% required to even come close to what they promised us with their tax scam. Republicans, always wrong.https://t.co/9aV0Sr8esP

Don the Con promised his tax scam will generate a 4% rate of growth & pay for itself. Unfortunately, US economy grew by a mere 2.5% in 2018, and 2.3% last year. And we have record $Trillion-plus deficit. ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩https://t.co/xZxzCuwVUf via ⁦@nytimesarts⁩

Trump boasts that the US is "in the midst of an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen before," but in fact at 2.3% growth it's pretty middling and only half as much as Trump promised. ⁦@PatcohenNYT⁩ https://t.co/9laMorb2vp
