Donald Trump on Jobs Report: ‘The Numbers Are Totally Skewed and They’re Phony’

“When you’re looking for a job, when you give up, they consider you employed. I mean, the numbers are totally skewed and they’re phony. The unemployment numbers in this country are so false. Everybody knows it. Everybody laughs about it. President gets away with it and other politicians get away with it when you look at them. Our real numbers are probably close to 18 percent. It could even be higher than that.”
