So North Korea still doing its thing. New weapons on the way...

Troops still fighting in the Middle East. A war with Iran brewing requiring extra US troops...

No wall...

Obamacare still kicking...

A year ripe with domestic terrorism and the highest rates of mass murders in American history...

Trump facing an impeachment trial...

2020 is shaping up to be a doozy.

How about that national emergency at the boarders? that still a concern?

Seems to have been a pattern established well before Trump took office. If anything, it looks like the gains actually slowed down the last few years.
This isn't Russia.
You can't force people to work.

I don’t get the point you’re trying to make?
I'm not trying to make it. I am making it.

You'll never have a 0% unemployment rate. At some point it gets about as low as a working class allows it to be, and it's not because of a lack of jobs. It's due to a lack of people willing to work.

During the recession unemployment was out of control. Eventually shit got better and - you are correct - was already trending down when Trump took office. But to say that it has "slowed down" and hint that this should be scored as a negative against Trump is a bit silly.

I'm not saying the outstanding unemployment rate is because of Trump's policies - but the "Trump sucks! Our country is going to shit" Chicken Littles need to settle the fuck down.

If you look at the chart you posted the years previous to Trump, it appears the unemployment rate was dropping out about a steady 2% per year. The years under Trump it appears from what you posted it is dropping at slightly less than that.

How can you credit Trump for a trend that was already happening over the last 10 years?

I'm not crediting him for anything.
Nor am I pretending he's ruining the country with his policies.
