thus the two repug administrations, Bush and trump, show the low rates resulting from the previous president's policies, both who happened to be Democrats.

Obama's and Bill Clinton's high 3 month rates also reflect the continuing effect of the previous repug administrations' failed policies.

What would be fair is to show the rates at the end of each president's term/s. You can't show that yet with trump but the results at the end of the other 3 presidents would give a more accurate portrayal of how the unemployment rates were handled.
