Facts First: President Trump's comment about 'equality' is out of sync with reality — the jobs report says white unemployment dropped, but black unemployment ticked up slightly and was already at a disproportionately high level
Washington President Donald Trump had stunningly good jobs data to talk about on Friday. Instead of rising, as expected, the US unemployment rate surprisingly fell to 13.3% in May, as the economy gained 2.5 million jobs.
It was the largest monthly gain in new jobs since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking the data series in 1939. While Trump did accurately tout these numbers, he also made his usual assortment of lies and exaggerations -- delivering a rambling Rose Garden monologue in which he misled Americans about a variety of subjects on which he has been regularly dishonest. No, Trump wasn't the one who got the Veterans Choice program created.
