Okay NOW I see why he is pushing May 1st so heavily

[Garion_55]

Look at the day May 1st falls on. Friday. What happens every Friday the 1st of the month? Unemployment numbers get released.


This report is going to show that we went from 4% unemployment to maybe 14% unemployment. The biggest one-month gain in history.


Trump goes from having the quote-unquote lowest black unemployment rate in history to one month later having one of the highest black unemployment rates in history.


Not only does Trump desperately need as many things opening up on May 1st as possible to overshadow that news and bury it but he also needs the economy running for another month to get that unemployment rate back down Under double digits so that will make him look good.



He wants as few people paying attention to the unemployment rates as possible and he also wants it to be just a quick up and down flip it was a one-month thing we took care of it we're back down to low numbers let's go re-elect me.

1. April numbers probably won't come out until May 8

4. the point remains valid

If he can say hey we have been opened back up for a week now, everything is fine, and people are actually going back to work...those 8 May numbers will have less of an impact.

If we are still shut down, those May numbers will be brutal.

8. Actually, when the first Friday of the month comes on the 1st, the unemployment numbers

still come out. They are subject to being updated at a later point.

So I expect the numbers to come out on May 1.

7. Please - there is no one who doesn't know how bad the unemployment

Is right now. Unless you’ve been sleeping the past month, and plan to the next 6, there is no hiding what’s going on.

And no way his wish to open some
Parts of the country is gonna fly in places like NY or LA etc.
