Trump lie of the day: GDP higher than UE .

[edward37]

A trade war is when countries try to harm each others Trade.

Trump is leveling the unfair trade with others, not harm them .
Two very different situations.

Yeah, we'll see how Trump-voting farmers and those who lose their jobs due to steel prices feel about that come November 6.
Choose your source:
trade war will hurt trump voters the most

Not a trade war.
A renegotiation to make trade fairer for us.
Why should we be over 800 billion in the red?
People in farming and steel understand what he is doing and they understand how it will be good for them in the long run.

Why couldn't the moron approach China with our allies behind us instead of making enemies of them and going it alone?......

ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT! Are you crazy? How can ANY economy move forward when the President makes totally ANTI-ECONOMIC growth statements and
supports policies LIKE THE following?

And yet the economy did indeed surge forward, showing just how little the POTUS effect is.

NO the economy did not "SURGE" forward.

One indicator: GDP
Notice the issues... 2009 Stimulas act...
Among that debt $687 billion in TARP which was against GWB budget BUT which was paid back plus a profit under Obama and Obama still rang up largest deficits in history!

1/20/2009 $10,626,877,048,913.0 debt increase $1,438,236,760,982.61
1/20/2010 12,327,380,804,696.82 debt increase $1,700,503,755,783.80 (remember TARP is now being paid back...!)
1/20/2011 14,056,313,474,932.58 debt increase $1,728,932,670,235.70
1/20/2012 15,236,271,879,792.78 debt increase $1,179,958,404,860.20
1/20/2013 16,432,495,841,444.68 debt increase $1,196,223,961,651.90

Probably because our ALLIES were getting a favorable DEAL from China in the first place.
Did you know that...
A Jeep Wrangler can cost $30,000 more in China than in the United States — and the reasons illustrate a growing point of tension between the two countries.
Manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, he Rubicon edition of the Wrangler has a suggested retail price of $40,530 in the United States.
But in China, the same vehicle would set a buyer back by a hefty $71,000, mostly because of taxes that Beijing charges on every car, minivan and sport utility vehicle

Lawrence O'Donnell Shreds Donald Trump Over His Most 'Evil' Lie About 9/11 | HuffPost

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell has taken Donald Trump to task for what he described as the president’s “worst” lie about the 9/11 terror attacks.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “The Last Word,” O’Donnell branded Trump’s claim during a 2016 GOP primary campaign debate that he lost “hundreds of friends” in the collapse of the Twin Towers as “evil.”

“As soon as Donald Trump said that in the campaign debate in South Carolina, I said he was lying,” said O’Donnell. “I didn’t know how many friends he’d lost on 9/11, but I knew it wasn’t hundreds.”

“I still didn’t know how many friends Donald Trump might have lost on 9/11,” O’Donnell continued Tuesday. “But knowing the way Donald Trump lies as I do, I suspected then that the real number was zero, and then I checked, and the real number was zero. Donald Trump did not attend a single 9/11 funeral, not one.”

That's an interesting, and self serving definition of "friend".

What the **** is that supposed to mean? A friend is someone who you are close to. A friend is someone whos funeral you go to. He did not say that he lost hundreds of acquaintances, He said that he lost friends . Stop defending this miserable lying piece of shit.

I've lost people whom I considered friends and not attended their funerals.


Some of my coworkers, I've been friendly enough that I would call them friends, but we don't hang out, and I would not go their funerals.


Seems likely that he is talking about people he was somewhat friendly with, perhaps slightly exaggerating the level of friendliness.


Hardly worthy of "evil".

i figure we should have an ongoing list of his lies . Daunting task I know .

First up . This tweet:

“The gdp rate 4.2 % is higher than the UE rate 3.9% for the first time in 100 years”.

WRONG! Nice to see how he accepts the UE stats that he used to call fake.

Still wrong .

Terms of Service Violation


the 70 years since the Labor Department started publishing monthly jobless numbers, the growth rate has been higher than the unemployment level more than 20 percent of the time when compared with GDP, which is reported quarterly.

GDP growth of 4.2% and you're attacking him on historical trivia?

No, for being an idiot.

How much credit did you give Obama for the 5.1% followed by the 4.9% growth?

How much were you critical of him for his pathetic GDP growth in his eighth year?

Obama's highest GDP was 2.9%
