From Green Eagle:
Here is the truth in plain view: A colossal explosion in unemployment was the result of the 2008 collapse of the economy, which was caused by Republican economic depredation. Within short order, actions taken under the Obama administration, which would never have been considered under any Republican, set the unemployment rate on a steep downward path, which it has continued to follow, at least to this point in the Trump administration.
The notion that Donald Trump, or any other Republican, deserves a shred of credit for this is patently ludicrous. And yet the mainstream press has collaborated with the Republican party and the rich sociopaths that own it, to tell just that story, which the American people are, in large part, accepting as the gospel truth.
