12/6/19: On Twitter, Trump is bragging about the stock market being way up and touting his job-creating magic again. The November report is excellent: 266,000 jobs added.
Numbers for September and October were also revised upward. That brings jobs added in Trump’s first 34 full months in office to 6,545,000.
Those beliefs were: ludicrous, idiotic, and glaringly false.
On Twitter, of course, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee likes to claim that Trump has added “7.2 million jobs since he was elected,” claiming all gains for November and December 2016, and January 2017, before he took office.
You wonder why she just doesn’t claim all the jobs created since he was born in 1946 and be done with it.

Donald was already adding jobs to the U.S. economy when he was in kindergarten. |
Sad to say, Trump fans – but it remains true. Your Orange Hero has been adding jobs at a slower pace since taking office than Obama did during his last six years in the White House. And the results of a public opinion poll in December 2016 are relevant. At that time, one in seven Trump voters believed Hillary Clinton was connected to a child sex trafficking ring, operating out of a pizza parlor basement in Washington D.C.
Almost four in ten Trump lovers believed the stock market went down while Obama was in office.
Two out of every three believed that unemployment increased while the black guy was in the White House.
In
order, those beliefs were: ludicrous, idiotic, and glaringly false.

ARE WE THERE YET? Is it time to vote Trump out of office? Fresh danger threatens when U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, warns Iran that the U.S. has “other tools” to employ if Iran continues its “malicious behavior.” Trump has already tried ripping up an existing treaty, which limited Iran’s ability to produce an atomic bomb. That “tool” totally backfired.
Also, Craft wants the U.N. Security Council to address the growing threat posed by North Korea. (We all remember when Trump tried palling around with Kim Jong-un. That didn’t work so good, either.)
Well,
then, who better to deal some diplomatic magic than Ambassador Craft, who honed
her skills by being, basically, the wife of Joe Craft, owner of the
third-largest coalmining business in the U.S.

IN OTHER NEWS, Trump proves once again that he’s an idiot who can’t keep his lies and misrepresentations straight. Today he tweets angrily about unnamed sources, a supposed presidential bugaboo.
 |
Don't believe anonymous sources! |
Twitter sleuths quickly remind him what he used to say about his predecessor, Barack Obama:
 |
Okay, believe anonymous sources if they're "extremely credible." |
To
see how absurd Trump’s positions on the topic of President Obama’s birth once
were, and how his position morphed over time, consider a report from NPR,
highlighting the many contradictions.

WE ALSO LEARN TODAY that neither Joseph diGenova nor his
lovely wife, Victoria Toensing, have been seen recently on Fox News (last appearance Oct. 8) or Fox Business (Nov. 13).
Previously, the couple had appeared individually, or together, on 66 Fox shows;
but they may be under wraps, now that they’ve been implicated for their work,
along with Rudy Giuliani and several other shady characters, with assorted
oligarchs and crooks in Ukraine. (See: 10/16/19.)
