**Trump’s Real Record on Unemployment in Two Graphs**

"Donald Trump and his supporters routinely boast about his great success in reducing the unemployment rate.

Please stop with the auto playing videos that cover part of the screen on mobile, when I'm trying to read an article on your news site. I'm trying to ignore the video, it seems irrelevant. Just let me read the article I was linked to. This is total disrespect for your users.
