Are you actually gullible enough that you fail to realize that every president in your lifetime has cooked the books and prettied up the numbers?

The news media is supposed to double-check and verify that the numbers being reported are legit. They do a pretty awful job of it, and generally do their own fair share of agenda-driven creative manipulation of the stats.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics is as accurate as you're going to get.

Not gullible, but I think that this man is a natural born scammer who has ALWAYS used the law and connections to get his way.

It just doesn't add up.

All those layoffs since March and the unemployment rate is 11%. The numbers are very odd

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/02/jobs...june-2020.html

I looked at the numbers and it just seems like nothing adds up anymore in these surveys.

I think a decade or two ago they were an accurate reflection, these days even someone uneducated in math can look at the reports and it just looks manipulated and it calculated in a way to make numbers look a certain away.

I find it difficult to believe that retail spending went up so much to justify the massive amount of new employees.

The Unemployment rate seems much lower than it should be considering the number of jobless claims.

So ... you're telling me he's a typical politician. Not really a big reveal there. Anyone who's in politics at that level is ridiculously dishonest. Par for the course. He's more rough around the edges that usual. He often gets caught not knowing what the hell he's talking about. But he's pretty average in terms of dishonesty.

Repugnantcans wouldn't know truth if it was sitting on their doublewide.
