The latest numbers announced Friday by the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics show 228,000 jobs were created last month. That's not bad, but during the same period, from January through November of last year, the economy created nearly 2.1 million jobs. The problem is that Trump has made the economy into a contest with his predecessor because of his longstanding disdain for President Obama. But now Trump thinks the economy is roaring after creating only 556,000 jobs this past summer, according to BLS. Yes, the economy is doing relatively well right now, but based on the numbers, that's nothing for Trump to brag about.
