5. Job creation
Fri Feb 7, 2020, 07:18 PM
Feb 2020

I get:

-805,000 Obama's first 36 months (-22,000 / mo average)
8,079,000 Obama's last 36 months (224,000 / mo average)
6,559,000 Trump's first 36 months (182,000 / mo average)

Obama's first 36 months was ruined by inheriting the Great Recession (the first year of job growth was March 2010). He turned around the economy in his first year and a half or so and went on to create jobs at a faster pace than Trump has so far.

Trump inherited Obama's nearly 7 years of continuous job growth and then, with that momentum, continued on, but at a slower pace of job creation.
