What Trump inhereted was the worst economic recovery in the history of the country.  I would remind you that the recession ended prior to Obama taking office (look it up if you don't believe me).  So what he came into office with was a golden opportunity to preside over a normal recovery where GDP growth exceeds 3% and employment improves fairly quickly.  But he squandered it with meaningless stimulus payoffs, Obamacare, taxes and regulations out the whazoo, not to mention record setting deficits.

So what Trump inhereted is a long, slow, painful recovery and more than likely the next recession given that we are almost ten years without one.  I know liberals would love to give credit to Obama for the latest results and in one regard he does deserve credit, as does Hillary.  Neither of them are president.  Other than that, I cannot think of one policy, law or action that he took in his eight years in office that helped the economy......not one.  But it was no coincidence that after 8 years of the Obama and one year of Trump that things began to improve more rapidly.  Lower taxes and regulations......works every time it's been tried.
