The Bureau of Labor Statistics is one of the most respected statistical agencies in the world. Instead of relying on BLS data, the president is making up his own numbers. It's propaganda and yet another example of how he's diminishing career civil servants.

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!

1. He knows the cult doesn't fact check and right now they're the only ones that matter to him.

Who needs facts when you have blind devotion.

2. relevant Orwell quote

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

― George Orwell, 1984

6. "adjusted for revisions"

as opposed to "revised for adjustments".

7. He didn't even mention the 14 million jobs that princess feckless created.

That's an extra 350,000 jobs per month, on average.

Just wait til his beautiful infrastructure plan gets implemented.

12. Yea but aren't all

those 14 million jobs in "CHINA"?

[Mc Mike]

13. Whoops. The devil's in the details. Nt.

8. Somebody is finally using the 'p' word! (Not that one.)

Propaganda. It's great word to describe Trumps communications, and people need to use it to call him out.

11. Did he use a sharpie?

[lark]

14. I keep saying it and it's still true.

If his ugly orange assmouth or his teeny tiny little orange fingers are moving, he's lying - every single time. He does not have even one shred of truth or grace or caring or even humanity in that entire flabby grossly obese body.
