BOOM: APRIL SAW JOBS, WAGES SURGE
Fox Business: “The U.S. economy added 263,000 jobs in April, soaring past Wall Street’s expectations for an increase of 185,000 jobs, while unemployment fell to the lowest rate since 1969. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.6 percent, beating analysts' expectations of 3.8 percent. The labor force participation rate, meanwhile, was little changed at 62.8 percent, from 63 percent the month prior. Average hourly earnings – which investors were closely watching for signs of inflation – rose by 6 cents to $27.77. Over the year, average hourly earnings have increased by about 3.2 percent, slightly missing expectations of 3.3 percent. … The job creation in April marks the 119th month of straight gains. Over the past year, the economy has added an average monthly gain of 213,000 jobs.”

They (MSM) have tried their best to squelch or suppress the great economic news but at a point it becomes impossible to do so.  One difference, you can bet, in their reporting if the current president was democrat is that they would be mentioning with every report on the economy that it would warrant giving the President another four years.  Such will never be uttered with Trump. 

So what's the current media narrative in reporting on the Great Economy?  It should have been obvious but their reporting usually goes with finding some obscure person to make a statement (and I've heard this on MSNBC & CNN) such as credit has to be given to Donald Trump for not messing up the good economy that was started under Obama's Term when he inherited such a mess of an economy from the Republicans (i.e. George Bush).  They just can't help themselves as they have to find some way to contort the news to try and find or construct some way to give Obama credit for the economy as if it wasn't 100% due to Donald Trump.  They might raise a point saying that unemployment was already dropping or something like that but one measure you never will hear compared under Obama is the GDP figures.  

There are several other measures, metrics and figures that easily prove that it was Donald Trump's policies and measures that are responsible for the economic turnaround.  Trump also cancelled and overrode all of Obama's executive orders that were restrictive and detrimental to business and economic growth.  Also, people only have to look at the historic and unprecedented rise in the stock market since Trump's election.  Obama certainly had nothing to do with that unless it was leaving office.  It's still amusing to watch these liberals contort themselves creating ways to credit Obama and not Credit Trump.  People will still vote against Trump though forgetting what he has accomplished or not thinking about it and then will wonder why everything stopped and went downward afterward when the Dem's mess with the economy again.

One more thing that would be predictable is that our resident democrats and liberals would surely be blaming Trump, and rightfully so, if the economy tanked after Obama (If that was even possible) but you sure don't hear them crediting Trump, or mentioning how great the economy is doing.  Even the Democratic Presidential candidates for 2020 can't run from the economy and it's great news so instead they say well it hasn't effected everyone.  Trouble is it has reached most everyone and most everyone knows it.
