Trump Makes Baseless Claims About Unemployment Rates
• Trump falsely claims he had the best unemployment rate ever as president, when rates were actually lower under Truman, Eisenhower, and now Biden.
• As a candidate Trump repeatedly called unemployment rates "phony," but embraced them once taking office.
• Trump provides no evidence for his claim that current unemployment rates are misleading and people "aren't really working."
• Unemployment is calculated the same way by career professionals at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), before, during and after Trump.
• Trump earns Four Pinocchios for baselessly suggesting unemployment numbers are being manipulated for political reasons.
