August, kids quit summer jobs and go back to school. Shit like that.

Fact is, of course, that any trends Trump points to are nearly straight line projections of the Obama numbers. He hasn't really bent the curve one way or the other yet.

For all of the complaints about the slowness of growth, the Obama recovery lasted longer than most do, with 7 years of uninterrupted job growth. Yeah, we're "due" for a down turn, I'm a bit surprised it has lasted this long into this misadministration.
