It is only the "worst" if looked at in reality. The first 3 month jobless rate is inherited from the previous administration, so the rates shown express the exact opposite of what Fox News in implying. But how many readers of Fox's tweet will recognize this? Not many. This will become a meme over the next few weeks or months, Trump will no doubt pick up on it and it may not even get refuted in any meaningful way. So from Fox's viewpoint it it may be a great tweet.
