35/ As I showed in 22/ above, sometimes Charlie outright
lies for Trump. Other times he deceives without technically lying. Here is a tweet from him from today, September 4, 2019.

36/ CK had been talking about 6M jobs under Trump, but job creation for the year up to 3/19 was revised:
bls.gov/web/empsit/ces…
"The preliminary estimate of the benchmark revision indicates a downward adjustment to March 2019 total tonfarm employment of -501,000 (-0.3 percent)."

37/ While the announcement was made that Trump's jobs estimates had been too high, the monthly numbers haven't been updated as of the time I am writing this tweet. Here is the data before the adjustment that comes out to over 40k jobs per month.
38/ Things haven't looked so good for Trump on the jobs front since January, so Charlie decided to tweet old stuff in September. January was a good month, before the average went to 141k for the next 6 months.
Here is the link for the job creation data:

39/ We'll have to see if the January number goes under 300k after the -500k yearly revision is applied, but that would seem likely. After the revision Trump is quite a bit behind the pace Obama had set.
40/ Here is an example of the kind of illiterate stuff that attracts Charlie Kirk fans to him. @AOC tweeted this about Trump’s lawbreaking behavior being a national scandal, but not impeaching him being a bigger national scandal:
41/ Charlie read that and decided to claim @AOC said that Trump’s lawbreaking behavior was not a national scandal:
What an embarrassment that there are Americans who listen to an illiterate college dropout hack like CK. How did we get so many dumb ones?

@AOC 42/ CK wants people to believe that he should be trusted to properly analyze complicated situations like the Kavanaugh accusations, or obstruction of justice, but he is so dumb that if somebody said, "Bob is a bigger jerk that John" CK would think they said John wasn't a jerk.
@AOC 43/ Typo in 42/. Should have been "bigger jerk than John".
