Totally disagree. As another poster has said, EVERYONE is looking for work. Unless they are rich and retired. I’m gainfully employed and my salary is decent. I regularly search on-line for a better job.

Trump said people are looking for a job they can’t get. Accept that as a true statement. If our economy were stronger, taxes lower, regulations reduced, fewer companies moving to Mexico, fewer illegal immigrants holding jobs in the US — if all of that started to get fixed MANY Americans would find jobs that they liked better than their current job.

Claiming 95 million people are looking for work is honest. It’s actually an understatement since EVERYONE is looking for work.

My parents are retired, they aren't looking for work. I have a niece and a nephew, one in high school and one in college, and they aren't looking for work. I know stay-at-home moms who are not looking for work. I know people who are disabled, they aren't looking for work. That 95 million figure is every person in the U.S. over age 16 and who is not in the military and not institutionalized. The vast majority of them are not looking for work. For people to claim otherwise is spreading the same kind of fake news that Trump has been so rightly criticizing lately.

It may be honest but if we accept your first statement it's perfectly meaningless.

It could be said any time, in any economic era under any President.
