Obama Dominated Trump In Job Growth
Trump loves to pretend job growth has been unprecedented under his watch. However, pesky facts tell another story. I looked at job growth for every monthly rolling 3-year period starting when Obama took office in the depths of the Financial Crisis in 2009.

Trump on Unemployment. Then vs Now. Don't Forget....
Very little time goes by these days without Trump bragging about the official unemployment numbers.........
This despite the fact he went around his whole campaign attacking those numbers as "Fake" and "Phony" because it had been falling under Obama......
Just another day in Trump gaslighting the American people. The reality is the unemployment rate is correct, people just need to understand the nuances in the way in which it is measured (which is why there are so many different variations). However, regardless of how you measure it....It's all going to point to some variation of this....showing Trump has had NO EFFECT on the trend....
