Line from Trump& #39;s State of the Union address that did not age well: "“Incredibly, the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country.”

As we noted in our fact check at the time: "This is worth fact-checking because the average over three years is hardly comparable to a four- or eight-year average for other presidents." Imagine what the average will end up by the conclusion of Trump& #39;s term.

This is an example of how manipulated stats can backfire on politicians. You shouldn& #39;t be comparing yourself to full-term presidents before your term is up. Things can happen that make such claims appear foolish in retrospect.
