None of what you said actually lines up witht he data.
1) For starters unemployment rate would have to be plotted as an inverse log plot if we want to fairly evaluate rate. the reason is obvious... if you have 100% unemployment it is much easier to bring that to 99% then it is to go from 1% to 0%... So even if nothing changes in terms of effects on unemployment we would have an asymptotic plot, not a linear one.
So there is no slowing, outside of covid itself, and i see no inflection point suggesting there was a rate change when trump came on.
2) Second once we admit that the huge spike due to covid and shutting down he economy (which everyone agreed on both sides was needed) can not be blamed on Trump (which should be evidence since the same pattern is seen, his downward rate was actually not slowed at all but reached record recovery rates... never in the history of recessions has jobs recovered so quickly as they did under trump. This is obvious fromthe chart, where Trump has the **sharpest** job recovery rate across the whole chart, and in fact, in history. The fact that this happened at the **end** of his presidency further debunks your assertions.
3) The claim Obama is to praise for the long gradual downward sloap in unemployement and Trump just inherited it.... no thats easily debunked too. If we look at the european unemployment rates (or global) which I have attached, the shape of the curve that you attribute to obama is nearly identical tot he curve for europe. This suggests unemployment rates were recovering not due to anything special Obama did but rather due to an improvement in global economy that all countries shared. Contrast this with the recovery period after the covid spike which does in fact vary greatly from country to country and of which Trump, again, had a record recovery rate on unemployment ever seen.
Now again I am not saying we should praise Trump. In fact I think he was horrible and these indicators above are due to actions Trump took that had good economic impact (very fast recovery from unemployment) in the short term, but at the cost of the long term.. the QE he engaged in to make that possible is also what is, partly, causing the high inflation we see now, so its fine to say that **despite** his impressive record on unemployment he did so at a cost that was more harmful than good overall... But even then we would be dishonest not to admit that in isolation the unemployment rates Trump was able to achieve were record breaking in both rate and in how low he managed to get those numbers.
