DAY 51: Great again? Unemployment actually stagnated with Trump

The Associated Press fact checked Donald Trump's claims that jobs were being created under his watch. In reality, the unemployment stagnated, with a mere 0.1% reduction.

That's right: Barack Obama's last employment numbers showed a 4.8% unemployment rate. But in Februart of 2017, Trump's first full month in office, the unemployment rate went up to 4.7%.

What's really pathetic about this is the fact that Trump always claimed Obama's employment numbers were fake, even though they come from the same source as his: The Department of Labor.

But when asked about Trump's claim the the numbers were fake, Sean Spicer said that Trump himself told him that the numbers "may have been phony in the past, but it's very real now."

Oh. So I guess the increase in unemployment under Trump is very real.
