Yes, I realize this is a shameless rip-off of the Dow According to Trump Supporters from earlier. But I think given Trump's mention of how much he's improved unemployment in the State of the Union, this is more on point today.
While I'm not trying to discredit the Obama administration or push up Trump, the natural trend is that unemployment would go down after a large recession has peaked. People tend to overestimate a president's impact on unemployment, when there are a LOT of factors that go into it.
However, it's weird how much Trump supporters talk about "feeling" like the employment situation is so much better under Trump, when it has been getting better for the past 8 years.
