CNN:
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz falsely claimed in a high-profile Monday television appearance that more manufacturing jobs were lost under President Donald Trump than any other president.
“We know Donald Trump lost more manufacturing jobs than any president in American history. That’s simply factual,” the Minnesota governor said in an interview on the ABC talk show “The View.”
It’s not factual.
Facts First: Walz’s claim is false. Official statistics show that significantly more manufacturing jobs were lost during the presidencies of George W. Bush (4.54 million), George H.W. Bush (1.27 million), Dwight D. Eisenhower (1.2 million), Gerald Ford (767,000) and Ronald Reagan (582,000) than during the Trump presidency (178,000). There were also slightly more manufacturing jobs lost under President Barack Obama (195,000) than under Trump, though that was overwhelmingly because Obama inherited a steep recession.
It’s fair to note that, unlike Trump, most of these presidents had two terms in the White House. But Trump does not even have the record for manufacturing jobs lost among presidents who served one term (like George H.W. Bush) or a partial term (Ford served about 2½ years after he took over for President Richard Nixon). more
Looking back I wonder why I voted for any of those presidents other than Obama and Reagan. Eisenhower was before me.
It’s really a shock to note how much of our freedom has been lost since Reagan. It sure would be nice to get some of it back.
^^^ You still have the freedom to comply.
Paintball Pedo is fooling nobody, and adults who lived during Trump’s administration, even Democrat adults, know the truth about PDT’s jobs record. But thanks, weird CNN, for slapping the mincing pansy down. I hope nobody gets fired for that.
It sure seems like the long knives are out for Harris/Walz. It’s almost as if the word is going out: “Ixnay on the ealstay. Etlay emthay oozlay.”
“There were also slightly more manufacturing jobs lost under President Barack Obama (195,000) than under Trump, though that was overwhelmingly because Obama inherited a steep recession.”
…cant go without running cover for Chocolate Jeebus I see…

SNS, I remember Barky’s “funemployment” and his endless “Summer of recovery”, which went on and on for eight years of bullshit Bureau of Labor statistics. And we were still scraping along the bottom when Trump won. One could say that Barky didn’t squander his poor economic inheritance; It was still pretty much the same when he bequeathed it to PDT.
Politicians who lie should be fined and jailed for fraud.
Rim r full of shirt!!!
Why no mention of the effect COVID had on all jobs? I’m out here in the trenches. Trump had manufacturing booming until COVID. And it just kept getting better. You can’t convince me that COVID was used as a tool to destroy Trump’s off the charts economic growth. And currently we are getting at least two auction notices a day for precision machine shops.
He meant the least. He mispoke.😉
