look up the definition of rate

then look up the rates

I dont have trump fever, but I give credit where it is due. If the Dems really wanted to defeat him in 2020 they would focus on his actual flaws instead of crying about his Twitter feed or something he said 15 years ago

Like most people dont care about social issues. They want economic stability

Actually a better plan for the Dems would be to stop focusing on Trump about everything

So I looked it up

I'd say that's fairly steady decrease since 2010

That's a good thing

I know it is

But my point is trump hasn't increased the rate of decrease since Obama was in office

Yes he has

So you can't credit it to Trump

Or Obama

If he didnt do anything it would flatline

Mate the graph is literally there

If he didn't do anything the current trends would continue

Flat line means horizontal

I know

So if Trump did nothing then it wouldn't magically continue to decrease

the rates have increased

It would

not a ton but they have

I mean there's no noticable difference on that graph so I'm skeptical about crediting anything to Trump here

because your x axis is too large

Just as I also wouldn't credit anything to Obama here jsyk

Well the credit is it continued to decrease

if you shorten the timeline the difference would be more pronounced

Meaning he didnt fuck it up

Yeah he didn't fuck it up

But he also didn't improve it

It is better though

Heres a zoomed in graph with a line where trump became president

@chuckayy

@Overpaid It's better but it would've been better regardless of whether Trump won the election

How do you know that?

Because Hillary's economic policies would've barely different from Obama's or any other Establishment democrat and unemployment went down just the same under Obama as you can see from that graph

But it went down under Trump

GG @Overpaid, you just advanced to level 3!

Not because of trump though
