Trump’s fatuous crowing about his allegedly “greatest economic performance in history” prior to the pandemic was nonsensical enough. But bragging about an 11% unemployment rate, trying to pretend that the big improvement from the month before represented anything but a bounce back from the most devastating drop in employment in history takes the cake. He even went so far as to say it wasn’t luck it was “talent.”
Trump is depending on the fact that his poll numbers still inexplicably show him having a slight advantage on the economy. Ads like this are sadly necessary.
