I could be wrong - But I really doubt it. Because it is false. Have you seen the current unemployment rate? Why would they play a video of a kid thanking Trump for the lowest unemployment rate when the current unemployment rate is through the roof? And should we talk about how the previous administration actually created more jobs during the same time period? Now, do you know if there was media availability during whenever that was filmed? Do you know where and when it was filmed? Or have you reduced yourself to mindlessly re-posting memes? Edited August 10, 2020 by SkyDekker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would anybody praise Trump for the lowest unemployment rate and why would that be good news right now?

How can you say it is false when it was absolutely true when it was created? Again - you just can't, can you? You just aren't capable, are you? I'm pretty sure I know why you don't know about it - Because it wasn't very popular in the media you watch.

Again - you just can't, can you? You just aren't capable, are you? I indeed asked you those same questions. But it was posted on July 20th. Definitely not true for July 20th. So why was a video that was wrong on July 20th not picked up by the mainstream media? Because the "fake news" is apparently smarter than you.....

Sidenote: You now never, ever, ever again get to use the "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" line as an argument for all politician's lying. Don't argue, don't get mad at me, you played yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But what he didn't count on was that his transformation from independent Republican to Trump toady would turn him into enemy No. 1 for Democrats around the country. Or that Harrison, a former state party chairman, would turn into one of the best candidates for Democrats in the country." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi John, Re: 'what he didn't count on was that his transformation from independent Republican to Trump toady would turn him into enemy No. 1' I've heard that he was recently on one of the Sunday morning talk shows ( Meet The Press - Face the Nation ) asking/pleading for money so he could fight off his challenger.
