He’s obviously NOT a loser...
“I think the economy is doing great, and it’s particularly reaching populations that heretofore had very bad problems in terms of jobs and employments and the opportunities that come with employment,” Johnson said. “African-American unemployment is at its lowest level… I give the president a lot of credit for moving the economy in a positive direction that’s benefiting a large amount of Americans.”

it improved more when obama was president by any measure. i guess he is not as smart as you think. here are some real facts about the economy under obama and under putin's puppet trump-
But job growth has actually slowed under Trump. This isn’t necessarily a problem. The economy has created jobs consistently since 2010, with the peak coming in 2014, when companies created 3 million jobs, or 251,000 per month. During the last 12 months, employers created 2.3 million jobs, or 192,000 per month. During the first six months of 2019, the pace has slowed further to 172,000 new jobs per month.
Here’s the trend in job creation since 2007, with the annual change in average hourly earnings along the x axis:

Partisans engage in mortal combat over who deserves more credit for the solid labor market — Trump, or President Obama before him. It’s a silly argument. What the numbers show is a recovery gradually gaining steam after the devastating recession that ran from 2007 to 2009. There’s no reason to think presidential policies (or character) have had much to do with the trendlines.
Trump inherited that recovery from Obama, benefiting from the trend in some ways. Income growth under Trump has been stronger than it was under Obama, peaking at 3.3% last year. The highest increase in earnings under Obama was 2.7% in 2016, the last year of his presidency.
Trump may think his policies, such as a deregulatory push or the 2017 tax cuts, are responsible for stronger income growth. But it’s more likely incomes are growing as labor market slack tightens up and workers become harder to find. That’s what normally happens as a recovery matures. Economists have actually been surprised it took as long as it did to get back to 3% earnings growth.
The slowdown in job growth is another normal development. Part of the reason is probably a shortage of workers with the skills some employers need, which typically happens late in a business-cycle expansion. Job growth could slow further and still be fine: Economists say 100,000 new jobs per month is enough to keep up with population growth and keep a recovery humming.

As far as black unemployment better under Putin's puppet Trump, no way, Jose.
In March, 2010, a year and two months after obama took office and we were still stuck in the Bush Recession, black unemployment hit a high mark in this century- 19.3%....when Obama passed the torch to Putin's puppet Trump in January, 2017, black unemployment was at 7.4%- a reduction of 11.9%, over a course of 6 years and 2 months, or a reduction of 0.16% per month. When trump took over, black unemployment was at the aforementioned 7.4%, and today, 30 months later, it is at 5.8%, a reduction of 1.6%, or a reduction of just 0.05% per month, or about 30% as much as Obama's. Here is the data backing that up.
