MS NOW dumps cold water on new Trump jobs report: 'Half of what we expected'
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
There was more bad news for Donald Trump on Thursday morning as the new jobs report revealed dismal growth, leading MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle to raise a new red flag for the president’s embattled administration.Appearing on “Morning Joe,“ Ruhle, a former Wall Street executive, noted that only 57,000 new jobs were created — a far cry from the 115,000 expected by economists.Speaking with host Jonathan Lemire, who warned, “We've seen downward revisions for the last two months,” Ruhle first explained that Trump should not expect a rate decrease from the Fed as the job market remains stagnant.She later elaborated, “People cannot afford to get their lives started; they cannot afford the basic things they need to work to get to work, a place to live, a decent job that's an issue —we're talking about a jobs number that's almost half of what we expected.”“So when the president is posting about 401K’s, people who can't get a job don't have a 401K, don’t have anything to feel good about,” she pointed out."Remember it was [former Fed chair] Alan Greenspan, I think, who said 2006, who said income inequality is going to be the biggest issue,” she continued. “We're watching it play out day in and day out, and it's startling that when the President is faced with it, he keeps saying things like affordability is an old-fashioned term and nobody cares. He doesn't care because he's on his way to the moon when it comes to how successful and how wealthy he has become.” - YouTube youtu.be
