Did President Trump change the way unemployment is calculated?

Update:

He labeled Obama's unemployment stats fake so I assume the numbers he touts as proof of his success are calculated differently. What changes were made and when did they take effect?

    No, he just calls statistics "fake" when they don't suit his purposes.

    When he likes the statistics, he calls them "proof."

    Yes he did. That's the only way unemployment could go down while most businesses are losing money

    The unemployment rate has been steadily declining since 2011. I don't see how Trump is responsible for anything related to unemployment.
