    Wait a minute
    Donald trump was very clear ...on multiple occasions... during the campaign. He was clear that the existing unemployment calculation is VERY VERY WRONG
    In fact, the true unemployment rate just a couple of years ago (according to donald trump) could be 42%.


    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-...-trump-says-unemployment-rate-may-be-42-perc/

    Maybe unemployment has fallen 1% since trump was elected. So maybe the true unemploynent rate is now 41%

    So lets agree to use trump numbers and calculation methods. ... so that the true unrmployment rate 41%

    THANKS TRUMP

    Again read more slowly its your false interpretation of the data that has been repeatedly debunked.

    Know it's true your cite doesn't show what you claimed as has been shown over and over. It's not the data it's your interpretation and use of it I and others have refuted over and over.

    They stopped the anti-business regulatory onslaught the Democrats had been engaged, the tax war on business and high earners, actually passed budgets and forced sequestered and austerity cutting the deficit.

    Glad you agree. There is much to thank Trump and is administration for. A very good economy due to tax cuts, elimination of Obama era regulations unfriendly to business, trade talks and many other factors all contribute to the good jobs numbers this month, very encouraging.

    So you agree 41% unemplotment under trump. With an over 40% unemployment rate, One wonders why he has not done more.

    Being honest here
    Obama reduced unemploment by 50%. From 10 to 5%. Trump has reduced it from 42 to 41%

    You know this is fasle. You were given a citation which showed multiple data sets directly from the BLS which shows your argument to be complete bullshit.

    But the economic trend hasn’t changed at all under trump. It’s he same continued upswing at the same pace that started in 2010.

    If anyone moved a decimal it was trump. He was the person who on said it might be 42%. Which i linked to Trumps claim was that the numbers you present are wrong​

    No actually it hasn’t. It’s pretty clear who had congress and the oval. To deny only shows how out of touch you are
