Trump calls himself “the greatest jobs president that God ever created.”

About that...
WAGES: Despite Trump’s promises, it’s clear 2.5 years into his presidency that the economy is NOT working for American families—it’s working for billionaires and millionaires like Trump.

Corporate profits continue to soar while wages remain stagnant.
MANUFACTURING JOBS: Trump promised to boost the manufacturing sector. Instead, the manufacturing sector is shrinking.

At the same time, Trump announced a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, which American families—NOT China—will pay for.

TAX CUTS: Remember the $2 trillion tax bill that Trump promised would “help working Americans?”

1. The benefits overwhelmingly went to the rich and powerful.
2. The tax cuts boosted investment ABROAD by 300%—six times as much as it increased domestically.

Trump falsely claimed that his tax cuts for the wealthy would pay for themselves.

REALITY: Revenues fell $83 BILLION from 2017 to 2019.

nytimes.com/2019/01/11/bus…
DEBT: Consumer debt has reached a record high: $4 TRILLION

Cost of living for working Americans is going up—while wages barely budge. No surprise: They’re accruing debt to try to keep up.

Meanwhile, Trump gave a tax break to the people who need it least.

LAYOFFS: @Lowes announced that it’s laying off thousands of workers, despite the huge tax windfall it received from Trump's tax cuts.

This isn't a unique story. Across the board, companies who benefited from the tax bill are eliminating jobs.

cnn.com/2019/08/01/bus…
Bottom line: All of this suffering is the result of Trump's broken promises to working Americans.

From our health care to our wallets, Trump's policies are hurting families.

Tomorrow, we'll finally hear testimony from Robert Mueller on his damning report that lays out findings on Trump's collusion and obstruction of justice.

Haven’t had time to read all 448 pages? Take two minutes to catch up:
RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE: Mueller’s report definitively states that there was a widespread Russian attack on our democracy.
COLLUSION: Mueller’s report lays out how Trump’s team amplified and defended the Russian attack, and Trump actively encouraged the attack along the way:

"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."

Thousands of workers from the @GM Lordstown plant have been left to fend for themselves after the plant's closure—jobless in a community that depends on a plant Trump said he’d save.

@NYTmag shows the devastating consequences of Trump's broken promises:

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
On the campaign trail, Trump promised autoworkers in the Midwest that their jobs were safe.

Instead, he gave companies like GM massive tax breaks. Then came the plant closures and layoffs.

thenation.com/article/gm-pla…
The GM plant has been a mainstay in the Lordstown, Ohio, community for 50 years.

It closed on March 8, leaving thousands jobless, but the impacts go far beyond that. Lordstown is expected to lose 8,000 jobs and $8 billion in economic activity.

As Attorney General Bill Barr gets set to testify today, here’s what we know:

He knowingly lied about the contents of the #MuellerReport to protect Trump.
He lied to the American people and to Congress.

Here are the receipts to prove it:
1. Barr said that Mueller’s report found no collusion, which isn’t a legal term or a criminal charge.

FACT CHECK: Mueller’s report details multiple brazen incidence of collusion. It is damning for Trump and his team.

vox.com/2019/4/18/1848…
2. Barr claimed that his 4-page summary letter detailed the principal conclusions of Mueller’s report.

FACT CHECK: We now know Mueller wrote Barr a letter saying that the AG misrepresented his conclusions.

Let's take a minute and look at #Trump through the eyes of the religious right and see if he measures up. Today, Proverbs 6:16-19 @TheDemocrats @TomPerez
It says:
@TheDemocrats @TomPerez There are 6 things the Lord hates, 7 that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies & a person who stirs up community conflict
@TheDemocrats @TomPerez 1) Haughty eyes: Eyes, according to Scripture, are the windows of the soul. It means that God truly despises those whose look communicates an arrogance and pride that shows that they have no respect for God and His ways - just an utter disdain of them. #MAGA - sound familiar?

Hmm, wonder what President #Trump meant by this comment to Macron 🤔

"..I will say we've had great success working together... whether it's the caliphate, or whether it was a couple of other things we did militarily. And you know what I'm talking about."

publicpool.kinja.com/subject-remark…
First thing that popped into my head was the North Korea missile site "collapse," but of course I have no proof of that.

Just pondering what the the "other things" was....

scmp.com/news/china/dip…
Wonder what else that's very "interesting" to Trump that he and Macron will discuss?

In light of the witch hunt ending, it's appropriate to watch the first press conference that President Trump held after the disgusting fake dossier was breathlessly reported by the media. People will never forget the role the fake news played in this.

"I have long been a supporter of a free and independent press and I always will be. But with freedom comes responsibility. And the irresponsible decision of a few news organizations to run with a false and unsubstantiated report..."
"..., when most news organizations resisted the temptation to propagate this fake news, can only be attributed to media bias, an attempt to demean the President elect and our incoming administration and the American people are sick and tired of it"

As true today as 2 years ago

Thread on Jobs:
I've been highlighting the fake propaganda on jobs for a while. CMIE is known to be funded by P Chidambaram's close aide. Nobody, absolutely NOBODY should trust the LAME report by CMIE on Jobs!

(opindia.com/2019/01/owners…)
So what is the status of #Jobs in India? We've mentioned it repeatedly- look at broad indicators.
1) EPFO, NPS shows robust job creation.
2) High growth rate of 7% plus not possible without creation of jobs.
creation
3) Recruitments and Campus placements are at a high
4) Naukri.com index also shows positive job growth in the economy
5) Construction activity is at twice the pace during UPA so but obvious jobs must be added
