Reality is not a deflection, son.deflection noted
Perhaps you may not have noticed, but Trump was handed a country with full employment. So I have no idea what he means when he talks about "lost jobs". You Trump cultists live in an imaginary world.
Let's see if full employment holds up when we have a Trump-induced recession later this year.
Here's some more reality, kid:
The real economic story of the past three decades is that the United States has surged ahead of all its major competitors. In 2008, the U.S. economy was about the same size as the euro zone’s; now, it is nearly twice the size. In 1990, average U.S. wages were about 20 percent greater than the overall average in the advanced industrial world; they are now about 40 percent higher. In 1995, a Japanese person was 50 percent richer than an American in terms of GDP per capita; today, an American is about 150 percent richer than a Japanese person. In fact, the poorest American state, Mississippi, has a higher per capita GDP than Britain, France or Japan.
