This was the expected result for the economic policy that Trump campaigned on and subsequently implemented.

The economy would be doing better if the previous admin's relatively hands off policy was continued.

Agreed. There is no reasonable argument that the people in charge and those that voted for them actually want economic growth. This was not only the expected result, it was the intended result.
