FUCKING LIAR
today trump was on teevee touting ''his' jobs numbers
but i recall candidate trump on Obama's numbers:
"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."
Trump's nominee for treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, echoed that sentiment during his confirmation hearing.
"The unemployment rate is not real," Mnuchin told the Senate Finance Committee. "I've traveled for the last year. I've seen this."

Nothing Trump has done in the past two weeks made any kind of significant impact on jobs.
The economy did very well under Obama, even with the Republican obstructionism.

(61,661 posts)4. Of course he was. And your OP is a very good point.
Trump is one big walking hypocrisy.

When Trump sends the economy down the shitter (and it WILL) happen, we need to force Trump to take credit for that.
