The president is retweeting bizarrely false numbers from @bennyjohnson
Here's the chart of median household income in the Trump years. It's up $600, not $6000. And up $3500 between 2009 and 2016, not $800

Correction, the president's false stat about the Obama years was $1000. Still false, but differently false from the $800 that I mistakenly transcribed.

rump backers will maybe catch their breath and run to check their paychecks for that extra $6K. When they don't see it, then what? They will come up with stupid excuses as usual that rump made a mistake, etc.
