    This is post Hoc fallacy

    Explanation:

    It is a False assumption that because one event occurred before another event, the first event must have caused the second event.

    The Republican passed a new tax reform law, let's say this is the first event. Thereafter the economy went on a nosedive. This is the second event which the Democrats believe was caused by the Republican new tax reform law.
