Josh Brown: And Now…A Reality Check

edited October 2018 in The Bullpen
FYI: With a little more than two weeks before the midterm elections, the President of the United States is spouting utter nonsense every time there’s a camera on him. Even if you love Trump and are only a little bit interested in whether or not something is a lie or the truth, you have to admit (if only to yourself) that the lies about the economy have become enormous and completely untethered from reality.

He said there will be a new middle class tax cut of 10% before the election. Congress is in recess, so of course there will not be any such thing.

He claimed that Saudi weapons purchases were worth 450,000 jobs, then the next day he said 500,000 jobs. A week later he said 600,000 jobs and then this weekend, at the lectern of one of his rallies, the number went up to one million jobs. He could say six trillion jobs, all of these numbers are made up and it would have the same exact effect (none). Don’t take my word for it, here are the collected statements:

Ted
