When Obama got into office unemployment was around 5% when he left in 2016 it was 4.7%.
Since Trump got into office, it’s now down to 3.5%.
Compare Today's Unemployment with the Past
You didn't even read your own web site correctly. That 5% figure was from 2007; Obama took office in 2009. If you use a better source with more granular data, you can see that it was 7.8% in Jan 2009 and falling quickly.
According to “factcheck.org” wages adjusted for inflation are the highest in nearly half a century.
Are Wages Rising or Flat?
And according to that site, real wages have been growing since the late 90's. There is nothing in that data showing a marked change when/after Trump took office.
So we have more jobs than we've had in a long time, with higher wages than we've had in a long time and the only thing Trump did to accomplish this was cut regulations and lower taxes.
Have you even looked at any of these charts?
