Good news for the debate.

A bad number would have meant more attacks on the Trump economy.

In the end, the pandemic will have caused less damage to the U.S. Economy than Joe Biden.

That’s a line Trump should use at the debate if a moment can fit it in.

Cnbc says jobless claims slumped...good grief! How Orwellian. More working is a slump.

“Jobless claims slumped” is deliberately misleading. When I hear Trump say that we have the lowest unemployment, I wonder how many people just hear the word “lowest” and think that it’s bad. People are very math challenged. Two negatives in a statement can be easily misunderstood. Trump isn’t even trying to be misleading but he needs to say, once in a while, we have the best employment.
