Right, real wages are stagnant compared to 40 years ago, but are up


(albeit modestly) recently. Even the chart in your link shows that, it's just that since the chart contains nominal wages as well, the scale of the chart makes it hard to see changes in real wages in recent years.

Here's a link to more recent real wage growth. Any time the wage line is above the 0% line, there's REAL wage growth. It's bounced around and there have been some dips into negative territory, and it's not grown enough to bring real wages above levels from the 1970s, but there has been growth... even under Trump.
