That 'advisor' needs to get canned.

For quoting publicly available facts?

Trump's a busy man with the half the world chewing at his ass. He read what he was told. Sabateurs are about. Considering that his every word get's scrutinized, he wouldn't pop off something like that unless he thought it was for real. Personally, I don't give a crap about the discepancy.

this.  the advisor guy was absolutely elated at the numbers.  no reason to hate that guy for doing his job.

trump was just given bad info or exaggerating, which we all know he does.  [b]it's not a bad thing.[/b]  it's about positivity but too many cynical America hating fuckers around for that to work.

Original Message Kevin Hassett, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, on Monday told reporters President Donald Trump tweeted an incorrect claim that US gross domestic product had surpassed the rate of unemployment for the first time in more than a century.

"The GDP Rate (4.2%) is higher than the Unemployment Rate (3.9%) for the first time in over 100 years!" Trump tweeted Monday morning.

Hassett told reporters the GDP growth rate is higher than the unemployment rate for the first time in 10 years, not 100 as the president suggested in his tweet. The chief White House economic adviser said he wasn't sure how the error occurred but speculated that an adviser "added a zero" when conveying the information to the president.
