U.S. adds impressive 209,000 jobs in July as jobless rate matches 16-year low - MarketWatch

Liberals ready to concede Trump is the greatest President in decades? Perhaps ever?

Riding Obama's coattails LOL

What legislation has Trump passed that impacts the economy? What's that? None? Oh okay.

209,000 is a decent number - just about 2/3rds what is was LAST YEAR at this time - so it's only gone DOWN by 1/3 (from 291,000) showing that Trump hasn't completely wrecked the economy yet.
Give him time.

I am glad the nation is able to retain almost (but not quite) the same gains as we have in the past 8 yes. All this despite of the Trump induced chaos in DC. Of course in past years 209K was called 'abysmal' and 'pathetic' and 'nowhere near what we need', so its ironic the same numbers are suddenly 'best ever'

So, lets pick up the pace, so we can get back to what we gained in the past years, and then the improve from that. Sound like a plan?

These are the same numbers Obama had, actually a little less, yet Trump derided them as awful.

It will be important when the confidence is reflected in improving tangible statistics. So far job growth has slowed down during Trump's administration.

With a 35% approval rate, Trump's performance makes Americans feel so confident. Yeah right
