“Pretty much everything he has said is nonsense.”
President Donald Trump is being called out for his lies after giving a speech at the Economic Club of New York in which he offered up stunning untruths. Among them, his daughter Ivanka Trump has created 14 million jobs, and that his administration “has launched an economic boom the likes of which we have never seen before.”
Trump was scorched for those lies and others by CNBC editor-at-large John Harwood, an expert financial and political reporter.
Among the other lies Trump told Tuesday, he has created over 7 million jobs,
Harwood told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle that “with respect to Ivanka, Trump is talking abut pledges she is collecting from companies to train people.”
“It’s a far cry from a pledge on a piece of paper to a job created. It is true that more than 6 million jobs have been created [Trump claimed 7 million “and going up,”] since Donald Trump was elected – however that is a slower rate of growth” than the comparable period during President Obama’s second term.
Wages “haven’t come up very much,” Harwood also countered.
Harwood also said “that;’s just not true” of Trump’s claim that family income is up $6000 annually over Obama’s $900.
Harwood took to Twitter to further his remarks.
