Trump officials weigh adding more countries to travel ban list: report | TheHill

Trump tweets 303K job claim after report of 128K new jobs
President Trump spurred confusion Friday after he tweeted about a "blowout" 303,000 jobs figure — minutes after an official government report said the economy added 128,000 jobs in October.

The estimate by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was good news for the administration, as its report on last month's job gains was far greater than the gain of roughly 85,000 jobs projected by economists.
==========================================
Need any more proof that this character is a lying weasel? How can you trust anything he says or tweets?

Your link isn't to your story.....
 
I will be well into the bourbon by 2pm at the latest today, I can see that now.
 
Math is hard when you only have 10 fingers... 10 toes... And two bone spurs
 
303k? What a ***** number. He should have said it was over 500,000.

This is what you get when you just take a snippet of a tweet and run with it.

Heck, that article of your's even explained where the 303,000 number comes from.

BLS revised the August and September job gains up by 95,000 workers, and most of the 42,000 auto manufacturing jobs frozen during the GM strike are likely resume in time for the November jobs report to be calculated.

White House spokesman Judd Deere told The Hill in an email that Trump’s figure also included an additional 18,000 GM workers not reflected in the BLS report, and 20,000 temporary Census workers who completed their work in October.

So...do the math: 128,000+95,000+18,000+20,000=303,000.

You know, I almost didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. Yes, he really did lie. Major lie. Yuge lie. Let me guess? The citizens of Trump Fan Nation are in here deflecting, spinning, or weeping with joy at the 180,000+ jobs he claim were added but are nothing but one of his many lies.

Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "Wow, a blowout JOBS number just out, adjusted for revisions and the General Motors strike, 303,000. This is far greater than expectations. USA ROCKS!"

We were also told then that 1.9% GDP meant the economy was headed for disaster. But that's because a black man was in the White House. And he wasn't God, like Trump is. Trump worshippers never dare question the word of the Lord.

For the OCTOBER report, you want to count jobs from August and September?
Shirley, even you find that crackadoodle thinking.
 
I heard that Tweety himself created 542 kajillion jobs last month. He vomited them whole from his mouth anus.

Again...don't get caught up with snippets. Read the entire tweet.

Oh...Fox News. Okay. I'll take your word for it that they told you that temp jobs didn't count. (I don't read Fox News now...I'm certainly not going to read their old stuff)

Suggestion: Don't read Fox News...or any of the other mainstream media. They all have their agenda.

(get the data and think for yourself)

The blowout jobs number was not adjusted for revision. It's just a way for him to spin a deceleration in labor markets. Did he ever subtract downward revisions from current bls releases? I don't think so. Your defense of Trump's tweet is almost as pathetic as the tweet itself.

It's not one number.
I guess that's what threw me.
It's the October number, the August number, the September number, the striking workers number, etc. all added together for some reason

It's a false claim aimed at downplaying economic weakening. In a truly healthy economy, with unemployment below 4% and $1 trillion + fiscal deficits, there would be tremendous wage/inflation growth. Instead, we are heading towards recession while simultaneously enacting fiscal stimulus.

I'm not defending his tweet. I only presented his tweet and did the math.

They must be dizzy. The cultists here have no sense of ethics or decency, they have been just flat out lying and gaslighting like crazy lately.

It shows their fear...and their stupidity.
