"3.1 GDP FOR THE YEAR, BEST NUMBER IN 14 YEARS!"

Source: Twitter

in fact: To claim 3.1 per cent growth, Trump was using an alternative growth measure that compares one quarter of the year to one quarter of the previous year; he compared the fourth quarter of 2018 to the fourth quarter of 2017. (By the traditional measure of real GDP growth, the 2018 growth rate was 2.9 per cent.) Some economists think that is a superior measure, so Trump wasn't objectively being deceiving by using it — but he was being deceiving by saying this was the "best number in 14 years." As the New York Times and Washington Post noted, this was not "the first time in 14 years" that there was 3.1 per cent growth using this quarter-to-quarter measure; in fact, it happened just four years ago, in 2015. The Post wrote: "Now that Trump is citing 4Q/4Q, that means the relevant comparison would not just be 4Q/4Q but other quarter-over-quarter calculations. The economy under Obama hit its peak  in 1Q/1Q 2015, when it grew 3.8 per cent. Obama exceeded 3.1 per cent on two other occasions, as well."

“To say ‘Donald Trump cheats’ is like saying ‘Michael Phelps swims’”

Reilly, a former Sports Illustrated columnist who has played with Trump in the past, spoke to dozens of players — both amateur and professional — to recount some of the president’s worst cons on the course, starting with his declared handicap of 2.8.

In layman’s terms, the lower the handicap, the better the player. Jack Nicklaus, winner of a record 18 major golf titles and generally considered the greatest golfer in the history of the game, has a handicap of 3.4.

Nicklaus’ handicap is listed on the same Golf Handicap and Information Network website used by Trump, where players post their scores.

“If Trump is a 2.8,” writes Reilly, “Queen Elizabeth is a pole vaulter.”

At that point, only 36 lots were actually approved for sale, and by this point 5 had already been sold. That left 31 – not 55 – available for sale. Since Trump was promising he could sell them for at least $3 million each, there was a $72 million gap between his claims and reality.

Now, one of the things that I did with President Xi in China when I met him in Argentina at a summit (Dec. 2018)— before I even started talking about trade — it was a trade meeting, went very well, but before I talked about trade I talked about something more important.

I said listen, we have tremendous amounts of fentanyl coming into our country, kills tens of thousands of people, I think far more than anybody registers. And I'd love you to declare it a lethal drug and put it on your criminal list, and their criminal list is much tougher than our criminal list.

Their criminal list, a drug dealer gets a thing called the death penalty. Our criminal list, a drug dealer gets a thing called how about a fine? And when I asked President Xi, I said do you have a drug problem? No, no, no, I said you have 1.4 billion people, what do you mean you have no drug problem?

No we don't have a drug problem. I said why? Death penalty. We give death penalty to people that sell drugs, end of problem. What do we do? We set up a blue ribbon communities. Lovely men and women, they sit around a table, they have lunch, they eat, they dine and they waste a lot of time.

So if we want to get smart, we can get smart. You can end the drug problem — can end it a lot faster than you think. But President Xi's agreed to put fentanyl on his list of deadly, deadly drugs, and it's a criminal penalty and the penalty is death.

BBC Demands Review After Cameraman Attacked when Trump Whips Mob into anti-Press Frenzy

The not-so-obvious way the rich get richer, and how Mnuchin didn’t get it
The Trump tax law rewards the wealthy in many ways. One of the biggest is not so evident.

“The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan.”

That’s what President Donald Trump assured America on Sept. 13, 2017, as the Republican tax bill was being drafted. His views were echoed on several occasions by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

But more than a year after the tax bill was signed into law, it is becoming abundantly clear that the main benefits of the tax act actually do fall squarely on the rich. (...)

“As I’ve said all along, the objective of the president is that rich people don’t get tax cuts,” Mnuchin said Oct. 1, 2017, on This Week with George Stephanopoulos. (...)

Trump made relatively few false claims last week in part because he did much less talking than usual. He spoke for just 42 minutes, according to data provided by the tracking website Factba.se, down from more than two hours in each of the preceding three weeks, during which he made 43, 52, and 78 false claims.
