The major news media, Television, Printing and Radio have lost sight of political accomplishments and or failure to produce and in the case of President Trump, they are occupied by Trump's scandals and lies. In the case of President Obama, they never acknowledged his success on the economy, job creation, lowering the unemployment rate, reducing deficit spending or keeping America safe. They really did not want to talk about the terrible economic recession that he inherited.
The media does not even care about an informed public but PolitiDose does and has written commentary since 2008 concerning the records of democratic and republican administrations. President Trump is still trying to convince everyone how good he is at creating jobs and of course the news media just accepts his hype. They are too tied up reporting on Trump's lies. So PolitiDose will offer its readers the following information on job creation. From February 2017 through April of 2018, a period of 15 months, 2,704,000 jobs were created on Trump's watch which averages 180,000 jobs per month.
In President Obama's last 15 months in office from November 2015 through January 2017, 2,983,000 jobs were created on Obama's watch which averaged 198,000 jobs per month. So for all the bragging Trump has done concerning creating jobs he lags behind President Obama's record of job creation. That information is nothing new to those who read and follow PolitiDose even though President Trump inherited an economy in its 9th year of expansion and April 2018 marked the 91st straight month of positive job growth.
And to think Trump criticized job creation under the Obama administration as anemic. The news media in general does not believe the people should be informed of the failure of republican claims of being the best at everything. As Trump's Presidency continues along more problems will be exposed, the real problem will be that the people will be the ones that will be hurt.
