Politics donald trump employment
‘Let’s have no employment’ – It’s hard to figure out what Donald Trump is bragging about here, but it’s almost certainly a lie regardless
Donald Trump is such a liar that even when he isn’t making sense, you know it’s not the truth.
Here is the US President speaking about… “employment.”
a very confused Trump: “I could with one swipe of the pen say, ‘Let’s have no employment,’ and I’ll hire a million people or two million people and we’ll have absolutely no employment.” pic.twitter.com/lGOLiTonAk

Based on context clues, it appears Trump was attempting to address the unemployment rate.
But “unemployment rate” is hard to say. And the numbers don’t back him up.
So instead he just stumbles through this incoherent statement about having “no employment.” When taken on its own, the declaration doesn’t really make much sense at all.
Then there’s the matter that he thinks he has some sort of magical pen that can create one to two million jobs immediately. That means finding the right fit of both person and job, setting up salary, healthcare benefits, and so many more factors that go into job placements.
The half-baked boast didn’t exactly inspire confidence in the replies online.

Anything @AlexThomp @jaketapper @brianstelter @ChrisCillizza? You guys seemed awfully sure of your armchair diagnosis of Biden having dementia but it’s crickets when your sugar daddy goes off on a weird jag that makes ZERO sense. https://t.co/3MjeMLgc9X

We need to have an actual national conversation about the fact that the sitting president of the United States is out of his fucking mind. And getting worse. Fast.

The problem here is, that MAGA can’t tell he is a moron.
Because at this point the only people who are still MAGA are actually dumber than this… https://t.co/mJG9oGiTGP
