Why does the MSM continue to ignore Trump's economic prowess and fail to admit that the Republicans are responsible for a historic 16-year low in the unemployment rate thanks to the efforts by the Trump Administration?
Because the unemployment has been trending downwards through Obama's 2 terms. Trump has not accelerated that trend (see chart). Thanks Obama.
I want to thank the OP for an opportunity to talk about the issue and address what the facts are.
It is important to know that there are parts of the USA where they are struggling, Democrats were heavily criticized for ignoring these people -- especially in Ohio....seems Republicans are ready to do the same now that the votes are in.
You aren't going to find CNN giving him much credit for anything, they are too busy attacking him!
Another poster said there was a 10% unemployment rate at one time. In Nevada, in 2009, the unemployment rate hit 14-15%. That was one state that received unemployment extensions for a certain number of weeks beyond the norm. Unemployment hit more than 14% in Nevada and over 12% in Florida.

I vaguely remember people saying the unemployment rate was fake or manipulated just months ago. Has that discrepancy been resolved?
No, the numbers come out of the same office using the same methodology, so it's still fake. That's why no one care about it. We are just following what the orange cheetos commander in chief tell us to do.....
Since Trump and the GOP have been in total control of the government earlier this year, the unemployment rate has managed to steadily decline with each passing month.
However, all we have been hearing about is Russia this and Russia that. Why does the MSM continue to ignore Trump's economic prowess and fail to admit that the Republicans are responsible for a historic 16-year low in the unemployment rate thanks to the efforts by the Trump Administration?
While Trump is certainly making some strides and bringing back some jobs, the overall unemployment rate is still not a result of his policies (implemented or intended). You can thank or curse Obama for much of what you see today.
Additionally, the unemployment rate is much higher than what is calculated anyway, which is one of the reasons I and others knocked Obama for his assertions of lowering the rate as much as he claimed.

Obama worked 8 years to dig us out of a recession that Bush and his 2 wars created.
The economy has been doing better and getting better for 5-6 years now.
Trump hasn't done anything in 5 months that's made any significant impact on the economy. It's been doing well for a while now.
ALL credit goes to Barack.
Absolutely !!! This country was in the toilet when Obama took over, and thanks to HIS hard work and HIS hard decisions, it has continued to improve for the past 8 years.
Trump has done zero to improve ANYTHING, let alone the economy and jobs. He is simply riding in on Obamas' coat tails and reaping the rewards of what Obama did. But Trumpees will never accept any of that, so why waste our breath ?
