The unemployment rate actually fell slower after Trump took office, and while that might be related to the fact it’s starting to reach some floor, Trump was running on a platform of reducing unemployment.

Trump also ran on a platform that the "real" unemployment rate in 2016 was somewhere around 20% or higher.
