If he does that, the unemployment rate will immediately jump to 25% or more, and he'll be blamed for causing the worst jump in unemployment in history.
He'll probably be blamed for causing a depression on his first day in office. That fact will go down in history.
He should CONTINUE proclaiming the real unemployment rate throughout the general campaign. He’s been already telling the truth about it through the general.
I can think of no good reason not to count unemployed people as unemployed people.
And, I think a part time job should count only as “half” of a job.
On the other hand, Trump will have no compunctions at all about laying the blame for obola’ mess directly in the lap of the rats and radicals. But I repeat myself.
