4. "Solid economic growth" ... but what about faltering job growth?

In its 29 months, the Trump economy has created 810,000 FEWER jobs than Obama's last 29 months

and the pace of job creation has markedly slowed in 2019 ...

Summary: Average monthly net new jobs created
221,000    <- Obama's last 29 months
194,000    <- Trump's 29 months (February 2017 through June 2019)
172,000    <- 2019 so far (January through June)
144,000    <- Last 5 months (February 2019 through June 2019)

Most of this is from a Forbes contributor. It also checks out with the Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers
