Dear NT's: This is good news.
It sure is. I wonder when Trump is going to talk more about how the unemployment numbers are fake again. Has he tasked Alex Acosta with digging in to that?
When the unemployment rate was anywhere from 5% to 7%, Trump claimed the real numbers were actually much higher than that (40+% in fact), that the BLS unemployment numbers were “fake”, “phony”, “totally fiction”, a “hoax”, and that “nobody has jobs”, but now that he’s President and the numbers are even lower, he accepts “those numbers very proudly”. The man is shameless, I’ll grant him that.The current numbers are actually good as they were (relatively) when Trump criticized them. Today, I do think we’re seeing continued benefit from Trump’s deregulation and anticipation of his tax policy on the economy. But as is often the case with Trump, his past lies/falsehoods/exaggerations/misleading statements on any given subject, take away from today’s good news message (at least for some of us who value consistency and hate hypocrisy). https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/03/10/19-times-trump-called-the-jobs-numbers-fake-before-they-made-him-look-good/?utm_term=.4348525b6544
