So has Trump actually done things to boost the economy? NPR says jobs growth is good and unemployment is low.
- My dad who's in investment says prez has little to do w/ the overall economy. Trump's caused some flux but the economy would be good no matter who was in the WHmandomafioso
- You can thank President Obama for the the unemployment rate, particularly the African American unemployment rate.mg33
- It's categorically insane to think Trump can take sole credit for it being so low, when the latter of the figures barely decreased 2% on his watch.mg33
- The Obama administration saw it decrease from 16.8% in 2010 to 7.8% in 2017. It's impossible for Trump to ever say he's decreased it by more than Obamamg33
- Even if we hit 0% AA unemployment, that percentage decrease will be less than what Obama accomplished.mg33
- And I'm only pointing this out because that's all that matters to Trump. He doesn't care that more black people have jobs. He cares that he can brag about doingmg33
- something that Obama didn't, which isn't anywhere remotely true in this context.mg33
