This set of stats is presumptuous and false, IMO.

Presidents have less control over the economy and of the shifts in the employment rolls than the media, in this case, CNN, would lead us to believe. A change in administration CAN have indirect effects, such as correlative shifts in investments based upon lobbying influences and executive orders, but no causative effect. Still, anything touched by Trumpy turns to shit.

Are not coming here because of twitler. A friend of mine who works at a large hotel in San Francisco told me they are no longer hiriing people and starting to lay off because foreigners from China and The Middle East are not coming anymore bookings dropped 60% from last year. I was at a mall yesterday and was shocked how many empty storefront were there from last year to this year.
