The president inherited strong job-growth trends, coasted off it, and tried to take credit for it.
His talking points do not match reality.

Same story with the unemployment rate.
This chicken may claim it's doing a wonderful job driving. It just took over the wheel when momentum was going the right way.
When circumstances require more than squawking & preening, crash.

Pretending everything is back to normal doesn't make it so. It is an obstacle to tackling the challenges ahead.
Even after 2 months of gains, the share of adults employed remains below the record that stretched back to 1949.
The grift cannot persist. It can work when you are new to town but the locals catch on eventually. He's been trying to run the same con on us for 4 years.
Been promising & not delivering a better plan for years.

There's a reason con artists moved from town to town. The marks wise up.
Many Americans who gave him the benefit of the doubt in 2016 can see through the repeated lies by now.
His brag, bully, bluster schtick is tired. He's trapped & got no legitimate moves.

In advance of tonight's #SOTU, where POTUS will try to take credit for the state of the economy, check out the trend in the # of U.S. jobs (blue) and in POTUS's statements (green).
POTUS changed his talking point. The job growth trend, not so much.

POTUS will tell us about the # of jobs added since the 2016 election.
He will hide the fact that job growth has largely continued on the inherited trend, but slower.

@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends No. You just changed your talking point (green text). The job-growth trend (blue line), not so much.
Your administration was born on 3rd base & you want to con us into thinking you hit a triple. Americans aren't falling for it. #NoFool

@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends Job growth has basically just continued on the inherited trend. But slowed a little.
@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends Same story with the unemployment rate. It's low & that's wonderful.
It's low thanks to progress so steady over so many years. Check out the trend over the last 12 years. Inherited progress has slowed.

@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump Beyond coasting on inherited trends, how has POTUS used power of his office?
Managed 1 big econ policy change: #TCJA tax law. Gave gift ($$ requiring no behavior change) to company owners. Profits skyrocketed.
Wages? An average hour of work buys 1.3% more now than a year ago.
