Trump. Washington Post impazzito. Fa gli elogi di Trump.

Il The Washington Post è da sempre la Linea Maginot dei liberal democratici, il loro Vallo Atlantico. Per i liberal quel giornale equivale ad Alamūt per i Nizariti oppure Masada per per gli Ebrei.

È fucina di idee, elaborazioni concettuali, corifeo del credo ideologico liberal.

Tempio solenne della più moderna disinformacija, ove neppure la data ed il nome della testata sono vere: è il mausoleo alle mezze verità. Posto ove la calunnia da mezzo è diventata fine: scopo di vita.

Ne parliamo così bene ed in modo così laudativo perché il cinque gennaio il The Washington Post ha pubblicato una notizia vera, controllata e controllabile.

«Under Trump, there were 1.8 million more people working in December than in January. Under Obama, 4.3 million fewer»

«Between January and December of last year, the country added 184,000 manufacturing jobs, the third-most of the presidents for whom data is available after Carter and John Kennedy»

«But we’re comparing first years here, and on that metric Trump consistently outperforms Obama»

*

«Unemployment is at a near two-decade low»

L’articolo pubblicato dal The Washington Post ha fatto clamore non tanto per il fatto riportato, quanto piuttosto per la fonte.

La eccezionalità dell’evento è testimoniato dal fatto che persino The White House ne ha preso atto, onorando quella testa di un Breve.

→ Townhall. 2018-01-05. WaPo: Trump’s First Year Job Numbers Are ‘Very, Very Good’

«Well, the first year jobs report card is in for the Trump administration—and it’s pretty solid. There’s now enough data to compare President Trump to his predecessors on jobs growth and it’s pretty solid. Even The Washington Post wrote that President Trump, who had the best jobs creating year since Bill Clinton, earned high marks with 1.8 million new jobs created. For December, nonfarm payroll jobs rose by 148,000, while private sector employment rose by 250,000; the latter boosted the Dow Jones to close above 25,000 for the first time yesterday.

Now, while The Post gives Trump good marks, they added the recession that hit Obama at the outset of his term impacted his numbers. Still, the publication admits that for year one, Trump outperformed Obama:

On Friday morning, the government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics released employment numbers for December, bookending President Trump’s first year in office. While the number of jobs added was lower than many analysts expected — up 148,000 — it was a continuation of the trend of growth seen over the course of 2017.

With those numbers in hand, we can now compare Trump’s first year in office to his predecessors’. And in that comparison, Trump comes out looking pretty good.

[…]

Trump’s immediate predecessor, Barack Obama, saw a surge in the unemployment rate during his first year, a function of the effects of the recession that was just beginning to wind down. Relative to Obama’s first year in office, Trump’s was consistently very good.

For example, in the number of jobs created or lost over the year: Under Trump, there were 1.8 million more people working in December than in January. Under Obama, 4.3 million fewer.

[…]

But we’re comparing first years here, and on that metric Trump consistently outperforms Obama.

[…]

Trump’s consistently celebrated the economic numbers the country has seen during his time in office and the numbers from the BLS certainly give him some reason to do so. The question from this point, though, is how and if that economic growth can be sustained.

Now, that is the question that will be placed under a microscope by the news media. Frankly, it should. This is a fair question. At the same time, I’m confident that the new tax reform package, the most extensive in three decades, will create the job-creating environment to sustain this growth, even increase it. Consumer confidence is at a 17-year high. Unemployment is at a near two-decade low. Fourth quarter economic growth pretty much hit four percent. And over 100 companies did what Democrats thought they wouldn’t do: dole out bonuses to their workers. A lot of crow is being eaten by left-wingers, who decided to vote against the American worker, middle class, and economic growth in order to undercut the president. Taxes will go down for 80 percent of Americans. Oh, and Apple, who has been waiting to repatriate $250+ billion in overseas money, now sees a chance to do so. CEO Tim Cook always thought bringing that money back was good for the country, but added that the current tax rate was just too insane to make a move. Now, with Trump, the door is open.»

→ Cnn. 2018-01-05. Trump’s first-year jobs record was strong.

«Employers added more than 2 million jobs during 2017, making it a very good year for Donald Trump’s first in office. ….

But a good economy in a president’s first year is not guarantee of success.»

Trump’s first-year jobs numbers were very, very good

By Philip Bump

The Washington Post

January 5, 2018

On Friday morning, the government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics released employment numbers for December, bookending President Trump’s first year in office.

…

With those numbers in hand, we can now compare Trump’s first year in office to his predecessors’. And in that comparison, Trump comes out looking pretty good.

Relative to the figure from January in each president’s first year in office (excluding those presidents who took office after a death or resignation), Trump saw one of the biggest percentage-point drops in the unemployment rate.

…

Under Trump, there were 1.8 million more people working in December than in January. Under Obama, 4.3 million fewer.

…

Between January and December of last year, the country added 184,000 manufacturing jobs, the third-most of the presidents for whom data is available after Carter and John Kennedy.

…

Trump’s consistently celebrated the economic numbers the country has seen during his time in office and the numbers from the BLS certainly give him some reason to do so.
