Huh? Trump being in and lowering taxes and eliminating regulations made that happen. Trump had the best unemployment numbers in generations? While Obama and Biden "managed the decline" and Obama saying "where is he going to get those jobs" Presidents Do have an impact.

Don't care if you believe me. I could say the sky is blue and you'd say im lying.
Trump's lowering taxes just made the rich richer and the deficit even worse. The regulations his eliminated are destroying the environment and putting workers at greater risk.
As for which president actually saw the most jobs increased during their, it wasn't Trump.
Bill Clinton had the greatest total of jobs during his two terms at 18.7 million or 15.7% increase.
Franklin D. Roosevelt created the most percentage-wise with 35.8%, but that was coming out of the Great Depression and he served more than two terms. Ronald Reagan had the highest percent for two terms at 16.6%.
Clinton's term also created a surplus. He raised the top tax rate from 28% to 36% for high-income earners and increased the top corporate tax rate from 34% to 35%. So much for cutting taxes to increase the number of employed.
While Reagan had the second highest increase in jobs and percent increase, his cutting the top tax rates nearly tripled the national debt.
Jimmy Carter's term had the fourth-largest percent increase but also added $7.4 billion to the debt.
Lyndon Johnson's term saw a 12.6% increase, but his spending on social programs increased the debt by 15.6% although the economy grew at 4.9% as well as an inflation rate of 4.7%.
Richard Nixon's term saw a 12.2% increase how ever his actions during his term resulted in the 1973-75 recession along with double-digit inflation.
Dwight Eisenhower's term had two recessions caused by the end of the Korean War (ok, cessation of hostilities) and higher interest rates. There was an increase of jobs by 7.9%, some by his creation of the Interstate Highway System.
Note: An University of Massachusetts/Amherst study found that $1B spent on clean energy creates 16,800 jobs vs. tax cuts for personal consumption which creates 15,100 jobs for the same price.
Barack Obama's term saw a 6.2% increase through the end of December 2016. However, since the Great Recession saw 8.7 million jobs lost, there was an 8.7% increase from June 2009 to December 2016 which would make it the third highest number of jobs. To combat the losses, there were a large number of public work programs (which the president can directly influence, but it is still up to Congress to fund the programs) which increased the national debt by 73%. Due to the sequestration required by Congress, the government shed 700,000 jobs in four years. As an example, the 2001 recession recovery added 600,000 jobs.
After the last few recessions, jobs created have led to greater income inequality as people are desperate for jobs and willing to make less. This has led to greater long-term unemployment and underemployment.
George W. Bush's term had two recessions and saw a 4.2% increase in jobs, although 3 million jobs were lost during his last year in office (2008).
John Kennedy's term saw a jobs increase of 3.9%. He increased the national debt by 8.6%, raised the minimum wage, improved Social Security benefits, and passed a urban renewal package, all which help ended an inherited recession from Eisenhower.
As for Trump, his term saw 6.6 million jobs in the first three years for an increase of 4.4%. Had the pandemic been handled quite differently, its negative impact could have been mitigated.
