The new monthly jobs report was just announced, 638,000 jobs created, lowering national unemployment to 6.9%.

Unemployment when Barack Obama left office in Jan 2017 was 4.8%. Just imagine how easily Trump would have been able to drop it to 4.8% or lower by now, if Democrat governors in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, and California had not locked down their states till the election (precisely to influence the election, suppressing recovery in almost half the states, with no regard for their citizens. Trump accomplished this much, with almost half the states not cooperating. And even as it is, the U.S. has less economic damage than Canada (over 7% economic drop) and the nations of Europe (all between 5% and 9% economic drop).
