Your link says 4.7 million new jobs were created in Trump's first two years. Multiply that by 4 and you get 18.8 million - which, if achieved, would rank Trump 1st in the number of jobs created, ahead of both Clinton (18.6 million) and Reagan (16.5 million), each of whom served 8 years.

I multiplied Trump's 2-year job creation figure by 4 to make it comparable to other Presidents (Reagan, Clinton, Obama) who were in office for 8 years. 8 years = two 4-year terms, not one. Originally Posted by lustylad

we have the current figures for the 1st 2 years of Trumps terms. the rest is projected.
I think your metric was partially wrong. you went the 2 term deal instead of the 1 term deal which I think is a more realistic projection and on par with Trumps current term.
If I asked you to annualize a quarterly statistic, what would you multiply it by?4
How far did you get in high-school math anyway?I sucked at Trig. so-so on geometry. did ok with algebra.
mostly C grade.
