SOP. Why change the game plan when the Flock all agree in unison regardless of reality.
"Trump would simply peddle nonsense and tell the public to believe him, instead of reality. As we discussed at the time, at different points during the campaign, the Republican
publicly argued, for example, that the unemployment rate was 20% — or possibly 42% — even as reality pointed to a rate below 5%."
In 2016, Donald Trump attacked good economic news by telling voters not to trust the shrinking unemployment rate. Seven years later, he's doing it again.

After the election, at a pre-inaugural press conference, Trump declared there are “96 million really wanting a job and they can’t get,”
which was ridiculous, even for him. Around the same time, the then-president-elect declared that the unemployment rate was “
totally fiction.”
Soon after, as Trump settled into the White House, and the economic conditions he inherited continued to improve, the then-president decided
he believed economic data after all.
That was nearly seven years ago. Now, wouldn’t you know it, the Republican has re-embraced the same outlandish rhetorical tactics he used during his successful candidacy in 2016.
