Trump actually added debt at a faster rate during his first two years in office than Obama did in his last two. From July 2016 to July 2018, the country added about 4 million people 18 or older and 4.7 million jobs. From July 2014 to July 2016, the country added 4.7 million adults and 5.4 million jobs. But there’s another component to Trump’s bragging about new jobs that bears mentioning: More than a third of those new jobs went to immigrants. The number of foreign-born individuals working increased by 2.1 million — about 37 percent of the total.
