You are fucking deranged. How does a president inherit hurricanes?You demonstrate how much the numbers are influenced by what a president inherits.The monthly unemployment rate for May 2017 was 4.3%. This is the Fifth unemployment report with Trump in office, his Fifth month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate down from 4.67% in march to 4.54% in May.
The President with the worst average unemployment rate since World War II is?
Gerald Ford: 7.77%
Average Unemployment Rates for US Presidents since after World War II:
01. Lyndon Johnson: 4.19%
02. Harry Truman: 4.26%
03. Donald Trump: 4.54%
04. Dwight Eisenhower: 4.89%
05. Richard Nixon: 5.00%
06. Bill Clinton: 5.20%
07. George W. Bush: 5.27%
08. John Kennedy: 5.98%
09. George H.W. Bush: 6.30%
10. Jimmy Carter: 6.54%
11. Barack Obama: 7.45%
12. Ronald Reagan: 7.54%
13. Gerald Ford: 7.77%
There are 43 months left in Trumps first Presidential term, assuming he completes it.
The labor force participation rate is at 62.7% down from 62.9% in April.
Inherit a weak economy, and the numbers for a new president are significantly higher. Inherit a strong economy, and those numbers are lower.
Good point!
So why are people so down on GWB?
This is what GWB inherited!
