    I understand you are desperate to redefine the term upward because you've been busted. My actual facts not some random statement without facts like yours prove in 2009 to 2010 employment went down not up. That is not upward. No dictionary on the planet backs your fake definition up and instead of being big enough to admit you screwed up you try to redefine the word "upward" which is beyond pathetic.

    By the way, you were dead wrong on GDP as well not that its a surprise. In 2009 it was down 2.5% and even if you go back to 1990 in total it was only down 3 times, twice under your sacred leader Obama. So in 30 years that brain dead moron you so admire watched the GDP tank 2 years he was in office which 2009 was the worst dip in over 50 years

    I'd rather apply the dictioniony for the term upward which you used and still can't admit you messed up.

    And that's all adorable, especially since I've said multiple times that Obama should have been impeached. Draw the trend line from 2009 to the present. Does it go up or not?

    Good god you've got some serious TDS, you lie to make fun of someone, get called out showing the context, and still stick with your lie. It takes a special person as unsuccessful at predictions as you to call someone that's turned millions into billions and against all odds got elected president, clueless. I still haven't figured out why you never ever lived up to your pre-election bet, You Swore you would leave the board if Trump got elected. You went on and on about how dumb he was, could never win blah blah blah and of course you couldn't find the decency in yourself to live up to your own bet. Shocking how bad that Trump is....

    Remedial reading skills here: what did I say was upward? Spoiler: the trend. Draw the trend line and see for yourself.

    LOL So now you want to remove "upward" from your claim. So painfully predictable. Jesus Christ you still can't admit your blunder can you.

    LOL Sorry sport the subject was employment which you claimed was upward and upward never menas going down one year. Dig that hole all you like, remove upward when you redefine the question it will never take away from your mistake :)

    No. Upward is still there. The trend is upward whether you start in 2009 or 2010. Do you comprehend this basic objective fact?

    No sport its not upward the first year to the second so no matter how many times you try and get around that reality it will never be so.

    BTW I've been through your posts you have never called for Obama's impeachment so if you want to continue this fantasy as well quote yourself doing so on this board.

    We'll be waiting

    And it wasn't upward in 2009 to 2010, it went down no matter how many times you try to spin it.

    Lol, so you literally have no clue what a trend is. Google "trend line" or "trendline" some time and try piecing together what the employment trend has been since 2009. Talk to me when you figure it out or I can do some more tutoring later.

    The facts are there for those who understand that 4 is greater than 2.

    And the fact is that that's a straw man. You refuse to even identify what the numbers apply to.

    The trend from 1787 is up. Mr. Obvious strikes again.

    Your entire argument is a straw man. Is 4 greater than 2 ??

    When you’re pulling out math problems like that to prove that someone is stupid, then I’m pretty sure the vast majority of us are stupid.

    Yes! Now think about what that means for anyone crediting a President for the progress.

    That’s BS. Right over your head again. Obamanomics produced the worst recovery since the GD. He never achieved an annual real gdp growth over 3%. His real average gdp growth was 2% and his real productivity growth was 1%. That’s pathetic. Supply side economics produces 4% and 3%. Since real productivity growth is a proxy for real standard of living growth Obamanomics produced one third the growth in standard of living.

    Democrats who vote for a living don't care about the economy.

    The problem is that in order to force the interpretation into Trump saying the wrong thing, you have to change his words as well. The best try was someone saying that oceans have a mass of x Kg while the atmosphere has a mass of less than x Kg - and in order for that to work and for Trump to be wrong, he would have to have said "The oceans weigh less than the atmosphere," as no one goes around saying a gram is smaller than a ton - they say a gram weighs less than a ton. I get that people don't like Trump but he was correct here and people saying Trump was wrong are simply incorrect themselves. The oceans simply ARE smaller than the atmosphere as both a measure of square Km and cubic Km.

    I again await AJ trying to prove that Trump is wrong. I find it odd he doesn't seem to want to.

    Typically what happens is that the D’s screw up the economy resulting in R’s in power whoget the economy rolling again. Then voters thinking that the economy is a non issue go back to the D’s. The exception is Bill Clinton whose policies were supply side economics.
