Can you acknowledge that Trump said in those clips that the jobs report can't be trusted because it can be manipulated?
Trump said last month the real unemployment rate was 20%-42% yet his first jobs report says what? It's says 4.7% 1% lower than last month.
So Trump is manipulating the jobs report to make it seem better than Obama.

Dude...Trump doesn't "manipulate" the report. The report is put out by the Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
And as you have already been shown over and over...the BLS changed the way they count unemployment a few years ago to make it appear lower than it really is.
Having said that....the new Unemployment numbers are just as b.s. as the ones were under Obama.
They mean nothing.
The only thing that matters is GDP growth and the Labor Force Participation (and of course the quality of jobs...if unemployment were ZERO but everybody had a minimum wage job...that would obviously not be good).
Will Trump "like" the first unemployment rate number of his administration? Sure.
He's not gonna say it's "bad" now that he's President. Would you? Of course not.
But is he working to truly make the real numbers better? Yes. That's what his ideas on trade, taxes, and regulations are all about.
In the meantime, you can bask in glory if and when Trump touts the unemployment number because it would obviously be hypocritical of him to do so.
If he is truthful about it, he'll say that it sucks...but that he is working to change that.
