NOT MAKING HEADLINES: Current Trump Unemployment Rate Less Than Obama’s Average Rate His Entire First Term

The Trump recovery is the greatest recovery on record.

Job numbers released yesterday through the end of August were massive. There was an increase of more than a million jobs! And the unemployment rate dropped to 8.4%, almost 2 points lower than July’s 10.2%!

8.4% is almost twice as much as Obama's final rate. Considering that he started his first term after the 2008 crisis.

@Elessar That's true.

Of course Obama wasn't dealing with a pandemic and Trumps best numbers before that was between 3 - 4%.

So,... Obama sucked.

Well on this I agree.

Trumps best numbers before that was between 3 - 4%. So,... Obama sucked.

So the trend that was already negative simply continued being negative. I don't see why he "sucked", in regards to this.

@Elessar

I don't see why he "sucked", in regards to this.

Obama didn't have a clue.
He even asked ;
'How's he gonna fix it"
'Has he got a magic wand?'

Obama had the economy hog tied.
Obama appeased every American enemy on the planet.
His policies incited war,
and put millions out of work.
And, his 'health care plan' was a pack of lies.

@Budwick That's the Reps narrative, which has nothing to do with the unemployment rate and the raw objective statistics we were discussing about.

@Elessar Switching topic again? I responded to "I don't see why he "sucked", in regards to this."

Make up your mind Elly.
I might honor you with a response later.

@Budwick Exactly, in regards to this, in a post that was about the employment rate lmao

@Elessar Not only that but these Covid-19 numbers are not even close to the 2008 recession. We're talking a loss of 700,000 job jobs per month. High interest. A war. A housing crisis. And an oil spill not to mention the bad weather we saw between then and 2016. These clowns are weak. If it weren't for Obama they would be eating out of a trash can. 🤭

Because of Obama's policies, people WERE eating out of trash cans!
