Trump's econ goon lets slip that president is fed flattering numbers

Donald Trump’s top economic adviser hinted that the president has no reason to suspect that the economy is anything less than perfect.

National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett was questioned on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday why Trump believes that “prices are coming down tremendously,” as he claimed at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Hassett told anchor Margaret Brennan that the president only focuses on things “we have already made progress on.”

“So people are holiday shopping. They are aware of prices,“ Brennan replied.

Kevin Asshat confirms he kisses Trump's huge ass.

So it is hard to tell him that which he isn't going to listen too. It is a self lickling ice cream cone.
