If Trump is still ranting about the unemployment numbers, that tells me rMoney's bounce isn't all that real, or the repukes don't want anyone paying attention to MittWits foreign policy speech . . . Trump is the 'mis-director' extraordinaire . . . the repukes want to divert our attention again . . .Donald Trump: Monkey business on jobs
By KATIE GLUECK, Potsed on POLITICO 10/8/12
Donald Trump on Monday dismissed the latest unemployment figures, saying he didnt believe that the rate ticked down from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent, and that the numbers were altered through a lot of monkey business.
I dont believe the number and neither do any of the other people that have intelligence, Trump said on Fox Newss Fox and Friends. Because that number came out of nowhere.
Trump seconded an assessment from former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, who on Friday tweeted, Unbelievable jobs numbers these Chicago guys will do anything cant debate so change numbers. Welch later said he should have added a question mark to the end of the tweet.
Trump said he agreed with Welchs statement about the numbers.
I do, I do, Trump said. And I think that they did a lot of monkey business. Im telling you, in a month and a half from now, they will do a readjustment like has been happening for the last year and a half. They will do a readjustment and the number will be 8.2 or more.
When pressed on whether he really thought President Barack Obamas administration cooked the numbers, Trump doubled down.
Everyone knows he didnt want to lay off certain workers in certain categories, and thats been well-documented and well-reported that he didnt want to lay off certain workers in certain categories until after the election, Trump said. I mean, thats monkeying with the numbers.

It takes a lot of skill to bankrupt a casino. They are money making machines. In Vegas they blow them up to build bigger ones. That's how much money casinos make.
