That there isnt a clear empirical criteria or methodology for figuring out what % of all things related to economy a president is responsible for, hence all those claims are hollow. Thats not to say the president doesnt have an enormous effect, but you cant have a clear empirical breakdown, thats how I interpreted it at least

So you're saying because I cannot accurately attribute an extremely specific amount of economic growth or shrinkage to the president or his policies, nearly all claims that he's affecting the economy are hollow?

If youre in everyday ordinary type conversation, not so hollow. If youre trying to make specific points in an argument, then its certainly hollow by argumentative standards. Not that anyone follows argumentative standards of evidence here, but they claim things as if they do
