I am sure that this is just "f**e news" and that Trump has "the largest job creation there has ever been".....

well, then let us discuss people working 2-3 jobs, part-time vs full time, I was one of those having to work 2-3 now I work one and make twice what I did, for my family. A huge difference as far as I am concerned, and I know many more people that were like me. So I am very pleased with the outcome, and now I look forward to my new money starting in february

Some things are more important than money. Opening up the coast of Florida to off shore drilling might create good jobs, but even the very conservative governor of Florida is going to fight against the new "drill everywhere" policy.

If you watch PBS Great Depression available on you tube, you will see that the Republicans and Freewheeling stockmarket and dropping of regulations is a repeat of 1928, 1980 and soon to be 201x. How one can see Republicans as "Conservative" party I do not understand.

Will history once again repeat itself?

trump wouldn't lie about this, would he??
This is the age-old tactic of reporting "jobs gained" and ignoring "jobs lost." Befuddle the ignorant masses with statistical manipulation, without actually lying. It works every time.
How about we compare the two Presidents "net job gains," or how many people dropped out of the workforce under both.

I thought that shortly after 1980 the U.S. economy started a boom that lasted until 2008. What am I missing?

That was a recession, but it was nothing that was close to the Great Depression that the PBS Documentary was comparing it to. According to Wikipedia, we've had 11 recessions since the Great Depression, and three since 1980. None of these has slowed the overall economic boom we have been experiencing since the end of World War II. If you go by Wiki's chart, the worst ones since the Depression were in 1945, 1958, 1973, and 2007.
