That is a whole lot of nonsense to say that pretty much if not all those stats were actually better under Obama's last three years than Trump's first three years.
And the Republicans screwed Obama as much as they could setting up Trump to appoint a lot of trolls.

- The Wall Street Journal’s Eric Morath and Jeffrey Sparshott report: “Pay for the bottom 25% of wage earners rose 4.5% in November from a year earlier, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Wages for the top 25% of earners rose 2.9%. Similarly, the Atlanta Fed found wages for low-skilled workers have accelerated since early 2018, and last month matched the pace of high-skill workers for the first time since 2010.”

Healthcare
