Donald Trump endorsed the idea promoted first by former GE CEO Jack Welch on Friday that President Obama used, as Trump put it, "a lot of monkey business" to make the unemployment rate drop from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September in order to help his re-election effort, during an appearance on Fox & Friends Monday morning. Trump also predicted the number will be readjusted back up only after Obama wins re-election.
I dont believe the number and neither do any of the other people that have intelligence, Trump said. Because that number came out of nowhere.
Trump said this jobs report is "the final number before the election" which is why "they wanted this number to be as good as possible."
There will in fact be one more jobs report the Friday before the election.
" will be readjusted after the election," Trump said. "And it's going to be a horrible number
Wait 'til you see how bad the readjustment number is. But by that time, it's too late if this particular president gets reelected."

(12,336 posts)? Trump is just another rich guy. Not a world leader of any kind, not a guy with anything to say, he's just another publicity hungry a-hole. I say we just ignore him and maybe he'll go away.

(53 posts)Cannot stand Trump and think he is a completely over-rated, self-hyped, blow-hard assclown who has already been PUNK'D the fuck out by our President on more than one occasion. If he's a member of the Insane Assclown Posse that's going around saying these numbers are bogus and a fraud and that the "books were cooked," then it's only a positive thing for Obama. Minorities are already solidly in Obama's camp. Women were already favoring Obama by rather large (or HUUUUUUGE) numbers, and they absolutely cannot stand Trump and find him to be a disgusting, womanizing, sexist pig. Thoughtful, pragmatic, and sensible independents see Trump as a clown and while they may laugh and be entertained by his show or some of the things he has said (even I've laughed at a lot of Trump's stupidity), they know he's an untrustworthy little rat. They see him as nothing more than an eccentric character, with no substance or believability. And the second he tries to step into the ring with President Barack Obama, it is simply no contest, the majority is always on the side of Obama. The more clowns like Trump keep beating this drum about "fake" unemployment numbers and putting themselves in the spotlight leading up to the election, making Obama look like the only grown-up and reasonable person in the room (which he is), the more it is going to hurt Romney and end up biting him in the ass. Romney is already proven to be quite good at shooting himself in the foot without any help from these other fools (even in the last week with Big Bird, his lies/change of positions during the debate, and the foreign policy speech which I haven't watched but heard he more or less stated that his administration would be George W. Bush policies on steroids).

Donald and intelligence: two words that should never appear in the same sentence.
