The math just keeps getting worse. Good for those 800 that get to keep their job, but it's like Trump can't help but lie about everything.

    “He said something to the effect, ‘No, we’re not leaving, because Donald Trump promised us that we’re not leaving,’ and I never thought I made that promise,” Trump said. “Not with Carrier. I made it for everybody else. I didn’t make it really for Carrier.”

    In fact, Trump did make that commitment, and it's on video. "They're going to call me and they are going to say 'Mr. President, Carrier has decided to stay in Indiana,'” Trump had said at the April rally. "One hundred percent -- that's what is going to happen."

    Didn't Obama preside over the largest increase in private sector jobs?

    Absolutely wrong. I know, you feel it should be right, so it's OK to make shit up.

    Sure, you can say that. But you have to see from that graph that labor participation rate follows its own course, not based on who is in the White House. It has to do with broader trends like demographics (the baby boomer surge, then early retirement), the influx of women into the workforce, technology, and globalization. Those are things over which presidents, Democrat or Republican, have limited control. It would be just as silly to give Carter credit for the greatest rate of increase in labor participation, or to give Clinton credit for presiding over the period of the highest level of labor participation.

    College enrollment has been steadily increasing during the same time-span as well. Students decrease the labor participation rate too.

    “He said something to the effect, ‘No, we’re not leaving, because Donald Trump promised us that we’re not leaving,’ and I never thought I made that promise,” Trump said. “Not with Carrier. I made it for everybody else. I didn’t make it really for Carrier.”

    In fact, Trump did make that commitment, and it's on video. "They're going to call me and they are going to say 'Mr. President, Carrier has decided to stay in Indiana,'” Trump had said at the April rally. "One hundred percent -- that's what is going to happen."

    It's quite a reach to say the Trump quote in the second paragraph was a commitment to keep every single Carrier job in the US. But either way, this isn't very newsworthy.

    You don't get it. Trump has no clue what he even says.
