The spin is Trump's, who's taking credit for the healthy economy Obama handed him.LOLLOLFactCheck.org is a liberal propaganda site. If you doubt that, just click on any of the links to the right in that article, they're no different than an MSNBC or CNN web page.
Too bad you can't find where they're wrong.
From the article:
Trump boasted that “unemployment is at its lowest level in 16 years.” True, but it is a continuation of a years-long trend that predates his election. SPIN
Trump misleadingly claimed that “we have more people working in the United States today than ever before.” Since the population constantly increases, that’s not unusual. The employment-to-population ratio isn’t higher “than ever before” — it was higher every month between September 1985 and February 2009. SPIN
Trump boasted that “the stock market is at an all-time high” since Election Day. True, but it has reached new heights regularly since March 5, 2013, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average topped the previous record set in October 2007. SPIN
The president said the United States “continues to lead the world in humanitarian assistance.” That’s true by volume, but not as a percentage of gross national income, or GNI, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. As a percentage of GNI, the U.S. ranks 20th out of 28 OECD member countries. SPIN
Trump got ahead of himself when he said “we will be spending almost $700 billion on our military and defense.” The Senate passed a nearly $700 billion defense authorization bill, but it must be reconciled with a House version. And lawmakers still have to pass a separate bill appropriating the money. SPIN. Where is the lie?
As you can see, FactCheck admits most of the comments are true, but they understand that sycophants like you will ASSume they were lies as long as there's a "but" after the word "true".
