I believe it to be true. When you constantly deflect and water down every bid of economic good news because you hate the guy at the helm, it's a reasonable conclusion. I hate the guy for what he says and how he acts. That has been prob. 90% of my criticism in this forum about him.
"If the attached chart didn't have dates on it would you be able to tell where Pres. Trump was elected"
So you're saying that unemployment trends that existed under Obama, would be expected to stay the same under a new POTUS? What I'm sayings is that w/o the dates you can't tell where Pres. Trump was elected so it appears that the overall trend is basically the same. Pres. Trump or Pres Obama - the empl. rate trend hasn't changed much How about when unemployment hit zero, would that downward trend be expected to continue? Or are there a ton of moving pieces that effect such thing?
The economy is better than when Trump took office, and most of us have a bit more money in our pockets, and our retirement accounts are up since he got sworn in, and the companies we work for and have shares in, are more profitable and valuable. .

Agreed, the economy has gotten better under Trump but we'll never know where it would be under Obama.
