yes it would have been. He wouldn't have regulated jobs out of the country. He would injected an entirely different mindset. I know you hate 3.9% unemployment you'd prefer the 7% but real americans don't. you can whine all fking days the hand obammy was handed, it was his job to correct it. never did. participation rate was way down by the end of his two terms. that sucks. pisses me off actually, and is why trump won.The monthly unemployment rate for August 2018 was 3.9%. This is the 20th unemployment report with Trump in office, his 20th month recorded for this list. This brings Trump's average unemployment rate for his term in office to date, down from 4.22% in July to 4.20% in August 2018.
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. Donald Trump: 4.20%
03. Harry Truman: 4.26%
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 31 months left in Trumps first Presidential term, assuming he completes it.
The labor force participation rate is at 62.7% for August 2018, down from 62.9% in July 2018.
If September's unemployment rate is 3.9% or lower, Trump will top the list next month.
Imagine if Trump had won in 2008. Would his unemployment record be so good?
You seem to have no idea how the economy works.
Under your logic, Reagan would have seen a massive, MASSIVE drop in unemployment. He didn't. In fact unemployment for every Republican president since WW2 was higher as they left office than when they entered, except for Reagan.
Why is that? Why do Republicans end up with higher unemployment if their policies are designed to make lower unemployment?
And why is it that all Democratic presidents since WW2 have had lower unemployment when leaving office than when they entered except for Carter who had the same level?
You need to look at unemployment throughout a Presidents term, not just the first month and the last month. Unemployment can go up and down many times during any administration. That's why taking the average, which considers EVERY MONTH, is the best way to look at the figure.
Well, that's still a simplistic view of things. People try and quantify what presidents do, but often the impact of their policies takes a long time.
Take Bush and his wars. Yes, the impact started in 2008, but it may well take decades before it wears off. The whole of the recession period and then the subsequent rise are as a consequence of his actions. Okay, he's not responsible for all of it, and the rise wasn't carried out by him, but it was inevitable. And then next drop could be quite bad too. He's potentially set up a much more violence boom and bust situation.
At the same time presidents aren't responsible for the whole economy. Congress plays a part. Individuals play a part too.

Its far more simplistic to just be looking at the first month and the last month of a Presidency. The list looks at the facts about the monthly unemployment rate while each person was President. Certainly who is responsible for the good and bad in those numbers is open to debate, but the numbers are solid facts.
You blamed Clinton for a Republican effort. That is what you lied about.Here is what I don't get about the current Republican Party, their track record really sucks. Especially on the national debt. Their policies of deregulation gave us the near financial meltdown.
I bet these same asshole Trumpettes were so proud in 2008 when Bush had to tell the American people that we had to spend billions to bail out the banks or the United States of America could go bankrupt in a downward spiral of a financial meltdown. Really, Were you assholes really Proud then????
Trump as the debt growing. Prices are going up. ( Remember when Trump said a tax cut would lower prices????).
US manufacturers pricing is going up because the ignorant fuck Trump put on tariffs? Yep, that helps exports.do nothing for the middle class except throw a few morsels while you load up the wealthy with more money.
Republicans that support them are just too fucking stupid to get it. I;ll take the econopmies underr Bill Clinton & Obama any day over Bush's & this Pillsbury Doughboy moron that sits in the Oval Office.
The greatest act of deregulation happened under Bill Clinton with the repeal of Glass-Steagall.
That legislation names after its authors : Gramm - Leach - Bliley Act. If you were not such a dumbass, you know those three men were REPUBLICANS. The bill was put on Clinton's desk by REPUBLICANS. It was a compomise bill that Clinton signed where the REPUBLICANSgot their Glass SteagalrepealL & Clinton got what he wanted.
You assholes should really grow a fucklng pair & quit blaming Democrats for not stopping your own party's actions.
Nothing you just said changes the facts. Greatest act of deregulation happened under Bill Clinton with the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Dress it up all you want to. It won't change that fact.
That is a bold face Lie!!! - Bush Destroyed 18 Million Jobs down to 60.3% of people working before he left office!!! Obama halted Bush's jobs disaster at 58.2% 10 months later. Obama first Fiscal Year started October 2009 halting the fall 2 months later! Bush & Republicans crashed Clinton's 74.3% employment rate of Working Age 15-64/yrs down to 65.2%40% still ain't working thanks to Bush & the Republican DISASTER & you retards claim victory. Clinton had the BEST employment record in History! Trumptard Repubtards are Destroying this Country withe RECORD DEFICITS & DEBT!!!
The highest labor force participation rate in the economy was 67.3% under Bill Clinton. It was still at 66% percent during Bush's last year in office. Still a historical high although not as high as Bill Clintons best. The major drops in the labor force participation rate happened in the Obama years. This largely due to the retirement of the baby boom generation, one of the largest generations in history.
Can’t make this kind of garbage up! You obviously know nothingThat is a bold face Lie!!! - Bush Destroyed 18 Million Jobs down to 60.3% of people working before he left office!!!

nothing factual in your post. What I see is that in 2009, obammy didn't do a thing. He used government money to bail out private companies. tanked the employees. I can't read that graph any other way. 2008.was 70% and 2010 down to 65%. Down 5%. tell me if I miss read your graph.More bullshit from Idiot jc456 throwing a tantrum after being smacked down with pure facts!Can’t make this kind of garbage up!

But only 20 of them were reports covering the time while the pathological liar was in office. Like you did for Obama, you gave Bush's last UE report to Obama to make his higher and Obama's last report to Donnie Dirtbag to make his lower. The incoming president has only about a week of January in office, yet you dishonestly give him the whole month.This is the 21st unemployment report with Trump in office, his 21st month recorded for this list.

Just because you were equally dishonest to all the presidents does not mean you were NOT dishonest at all.I did that for every President from Truman to Trump. Nothing dishonest about it at all.

Counting a previous president's results in the results of the next president IS dishonest even if you are honest about your dishonesty.I did not hide or cover up which months were counted for the Presidents. There is no dishonesty here except in your imagination.Just because you were equally dishonest to all the presidents does not mean you were NOT dishonest at all.I did that for every President from Truman to Trump. Nothing dishonest about it at all.
