The data does not support this, wages have been in the 2-4% rate for a while now. Seems tied to economic conditions rather than who is president.

The data does, really - on an off-hand search I found this[1], though I'm sure many more could be found. The US has trailed the rest of the world for decades on wage growth and income equality.
