I don't think there's imminent danger of recession, but with signs like this, Gallup economic confidence going negative for the first time in a year, tepid consumer spending, etc., it sure looks like growth is slowing down.

But with a recovery this old, a recession seems like the next logical step though I thought in early 2016 that we were heading into recession. I also thought were we in early 2011 (That the Double Dip was beginning).

2.1% is well in line with what we've been seeing over the past few years and is actually an improvement over last year

Trump has almost nothing to do with the current economy, just like Obama didn't in 2009.   We're still in Obama's economy right now.

Yes... the crystal orb of divination has spoken!  We are in Obama's economy until 5:59:59pm on September 20th, 2017 at which point Lady Liberty will spread 'em wide and birth out a Trumpeconomy!

Thanks for pushing home thr idea that there is no definitive where the policies or behavior of tge new Government take affect.
