While Trump was busy bombing Syria, the Labor Department released the monthly employment report. It's not surprising that Trumpbots aren't excitely touting the numbers because they're not good - not good at all.

Since 2011, the US has added 200,000+ jobs every single month. It is a record unmatched since WWII and one that Republicans have tried to downplay, refute and lie about since it started. Last month, the economy added fewer than 100,000 jobs for the first time since 2011.
Not only that, but the numbers for February were adjusted downward by 30,000 jobs. In February 2016, the Obama economy added 242,000. Trumpbots were quick to tout Trump's figures of 235,000 jobs as "better than Obama", which it wasn't, but now the Labor Department has lowered that number to 205,000.
For a guy who campaigned on saving American jobs from off-shoring, he doesn't seem to be doing much to stem the tide. Too busy checking his approval numbers or lack thereof.
It's to be noted that 9,000 new government jobs were added in March. So much for shrinking big government.
