Unemployment trends were downward late in Obama's presidency as the economy cycled out of recession...a very weak recovery thanks to massive regulation and over taxation...all these trends have continued and accelerated under President Trump in dramatic fashion. Further, wages-GDP-manufacturing jobs-stock markets had all stagnated under the oppressive Obama regulatory state. Critically, the Trump boom has most impacted those at the lower and middle portions of the economic spectrum...farm workers and manufacturing jobs have come back from the dead.

Now, if you want to continue making the absurd argument that this nation has not seen dramatic economic growth in nearly every aspect...feel free to continue being absurd and counter-factual. Most fair minded observers can see how ridiculous that position is.
"weak"..."oppressive" = Obama's economic growth
"dramatic..."fair-minded?" = Trump's economic growth.
I give Trump all the credit in the world for not messing up the gains that started under Obama.
He has even grown the deficit at a higher rate, and I wish to credit him for that as well.
