Once again, liberals take him literally rather than seriously. 96 million is the largest number of adults out of work ever. Of course not all are looking for work, but a huge number are and many more want a full time job rather than 1 or 2 part-timers. Therefore that is the number that matters. We know what he means. The real number.
So what is the real number?
I notice something that Trump keeps doing.
The "official narrative" is X. Trump says "Y". The press goes on a rant about how uninformed Trump is, but in the process people start looking at the area, and notice that, while Trump's version might be off, the "official narrative" is complete BS.
And he has the press doing this job for him, for free.
