If President Trump is so bad

Not true....There are currently 6,500,000 jobs unfilled due to a lack of workers. Many of those are still sitting home, drawing unemployment because Obama made it so very easy to do so with extended benefits because his economy was so stagnant. If all those who could work, would work, we'd still have about 3,000,000 jobs unfilled. That's why we need a robust and honest immigration policy. I have any number of suppliers looking for help running CNC lathes and other manufacturing equipment starting at $15 per hour that can't find help. Northern Indiana, Ohio, Southern Indiana, Michigan....and those jobs under Obama were low paying, $7-$10 per hour, forcing those who would work, to work two and sometimes three jobs.

Jesus man, it’s right there in the link. You say “not true.” It’s right there in front of you.
- 2014 (Obama): 258,250 jobs added monthly on average; 3,099,000 annual total
- 2015 (Obama): 221,417 jobs added monthly on average; 2,657,000 annual total
- 2016 (Obama): 176,333 jobs added monthly on average; 2,116,000 annual total
- 2017 (Trump): 170,500 jobs added monthly on average; 2,046,000 annual total
- 2018 (Trump): on pace for 208,000 jobs added monthly on average; 2,496,000 annual total
2012 was 2,142,000.
So you're trying to tell us that Obama's economic policies added 8,000,000 new jobs in the worst recovery ever? Okay....sure.
You act like I’m creating these numbers, these are just facts. I’m not trying to tell you anything other than what the actual jobs numbers are. 11.6 million jobs were created during Obama presidency, that’s taking into account his first year of his presidency when the economy was losing 700,000 a month to start out the first few months because of the crash. Thankfully the stimulus passed and that turned around the economy quickly. Trump’s jobs numbers are right with Obama’s over his last 7 years, the first year obviously was different. Trump’s 2017 was actually behind several years of Obama.

Then $15/hour isn’t enough.
All the bad stuff that happened during his presidency was Ws fault, any bad stuff happening now is Trump’s fault, and every good thing that has happened in the last 10 years is all thanks to Obama.
Got it?
A progressive personality this morning likened the remarkable similarities between trump and Clinton ...
if it keeps up with our higher prices/cost of goods. or companies accept margin loss. or move jobs outside the u.s.
