What are the chances Trump will tell us what the REAL unemployment number is?

[NYcarbineer]

Now that the BLS number is out, like the ones that for months Trump and his cult invariably claimed were doctored, rigged, faked, or something of that sort,

will Trump once again set us straight on how fake the 4.7% number is?

His real number should be what? About 39%? Based on his past 'truth telling'?

Trump is the sort of vain egotist who takes all successes, even imagined ones, as due to him alone and someone else will take the blame for failures.

He will tell you as soon as he shows his tax returns and evidence Obama tapped his phone and not his ass...

So hold your breath under water until then...

About the same that you would believe him.

It is the DOL that is basing the number, so when Obama had his U-6 at 4.9% with the job growth of 287,000 it brought that number down to 4.7%. Now are you saying that Obama's numbers were lied to US, because the libs wanted Obama to look good? NYCarbinated, lay off the drugs man...

TRUMP told us the headline number was a LIE. I didn't.

Obama's U-6 was never 4.9. Learn the basics.

I wasn't the one that said the U-3 number was a lie.

I think 42% is what he said it was during the campaign

 

[NYcarbineer]

Just to jog your memories (or give you something else to deny) here is what Trump said last year:


"Don't believe these phony numbers," Trump told supporters early last year. "The number is probably 28, 29, as high as 35 [percent]. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent."

Therefore, by Trump's own standards, if he or any of his people tout the 4.7% UE rate,

they will be using PHONY NUMBERS.

No but you are a blind partisan who believe anything with someone with the letter D next to their name says and nothing anyone with the letter R next to their name says. The way the unemployment rate is figured is misleading it has been that way long before Obama or Trump took office Obama spun the numbers so will Trump there supporters will buy the spin there critics won't end of story thank you and enjoy Friday.

Trump is on record dismissing the accuracy of the unemployment numbers. Logic, not partisanship, dictates that he can no longer use these numbers to claim success.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Trump believes the real UE number is about 23%.

And the NLPR is falling as well, almost 100 million now.

 

[kiwiman127]

Considering, that Trump loves to embellish things to make himself look better (ie; the size of the crowd at his inauguration or how his Electoral College numbers, were historic). count on it again. It's his factual history. Does anyone think his ego shrank, once he became president?

Now you trolls care about the real unemployment number? You are a hopeless hypocrite. You bragged for months about the faux unemployment numbers and now you are against them. No wonder you are liberal.

The 'real' unemployment number is going to be determined according to how those figure it. Is it based on strictly those people who are not working at all? Those who are working part time? Those who took early retirement because there are no good paying jobs? I don't know whose chart the President was consulting re the numbers he cited, but he is absolutely right that the actual unemployment rate is much higher than the official one.

And it is true that a record number of Americans are not working in some capacity, but also a record number of Americans of working age are not working at all and jobs creation has not kept up with new people coming of age and ready to enter the work force.

Add those who are working at part time jobs or otherwise at less than what they consider optimum employment and the number probably does approach that 50 some percent the President cited though admittedly many of those are not working by choice, not necessity.

Try these sites who have put some numbers together:

Does the Government Lie About Unemployment?

Real unemployment rate is at least 18 percent

Trump also made a claim his phone was tapped by Obama without offering a shred of evidence, so you do know there are times, well let me put it the most simple way you will understand that is he is full of mental midget shit.

So again he will tell you the number he believe about the same time he shows the world yuuge surprise when it come to Obama birth certificate...

Does that help at all or am I correct you are fishing for another answer and if so then you will need a Trumpster to help you out...

It was reported, at 9.2%. That number includes not only those currently collecting unemployment benefits, but also those that have exhausted their benefits and are either still unemployed or underemployed (part time).

So your position is that Trump is right? On his watch, unemployment stands at 40%?

It's the mirror image of how they loved the Trump polls until they turned against him, now, magically,

the polls are phony and the UE number is dead on.

Trump's already on record with a 94 million number ... he will say 4.9% then take credit for creating a record number of jobs.
