Take the unemployment numbers at the center of this argument. Trump has, from the moment his presidency began, crowed about them constantly and made them a major part of his rhetoric. These are literally the same unemployment numbers that candidate Trump called fake and made-up when they would have been attributed to Obama. IIRC, this point was raised by a reporter to an official early in the administration when we still actually had press briefings and they just laughed and said "Well now they're real of course," or something to that effect. It's no different with the stock market. If it's good when a Democrat is president it's "but it's not good for the FORGOTTEN PEOPLE" but now that Trump is in charge it's "RECORD HIGHS CHECK YOUR 409k [sic]" --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:933247629] in Politics C...
