Fourth, the whole thing is weird to me. He uses his personal account not @POTUS. Isn't he still a regular citizen entitled to the same rights as everyone else?

As atrocious as this practice is, it was previously ruled that he does indeed use it for official presidential policy statements, so it has to follow those guidelines.
 
A few observations:
- The kid appears to be much smarter than Sanders, or her boss
- She gets choked-up, as if this is the first time she's thought about it
- She doesn't have an answer, other than the usual lip service

BTW, in keeping with the bizarro-world nature of this presidency, notice how the expressions are backwards. He's the president, sitting in his own oval office, hosting a minor celebrity; so what's with the shit-eating grin? She should be the one smiling with excitement to be there, and he should just look presidential.
 
Just a friendly reminder for today's unemployment report.

  • Feb. 10, 2016
Donald Trump seems quite certain that the real unemployment rate is higher than the 4.9 percent that the Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported it to be. A lot higher.

“Don’t believe these phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment,” Mr. Trump said in his victory speech after the New Hampshire primary Tuesday night. “The number’s probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent.”

I certainly hope that proves true.

It should be a relatively good job market right now, so I hope that benefits you.

That being said, it's always best to assume that whatever Trump says is between 75% and 100% bullshit. Whenever he says "best ever", you know he's lying, because "ever" goes a long way back, like before MTV.

Also, there are many ways to look at the US job market, that don't look so good. I know this, because Trump himself kept pointing these out during his campaign; and we are essentially in the same labor market that we were then. What they call "under-employment" - where people have to take part-time and no-benefit jobs - is high. And overall, the US workforce percentage is still near a multi-decades low; which means there are much less people working now than 20 years ago.
