Fake news. Lieesman is well named.
That was my take too at first, but I finally got around to checking the actual transcript to find out what Trump said. Here it is:
There will be a major border tax on these companies that are leaving and getting away with murder. And if our politicians had what it takes, they would have done this years ago and you'd have millions more workers right now in the United States, that are 96 million really wanting a job and they can't get. You know that story. The real number. That's the real number. So that's the way it is.
There are easily 96 million Americans who want a job they can't get. There's no way around the fact that CNBC lied when they changed the quote to read "they can't get (one)" in an effort to purport that T said we got "96 million unemployed" --something he clearly did not say. He never said "can't get one" and he never said "unemployed and looking". Classic lying strawman. It's like wastoute said that the "only people “not looking for a job” are the folks who don’t need to."
Bottom line (from gogeo ): Fake news. Lieesman is well named.
