'Massive scandal': Trump levies dubious claims against foes in Truth Social tirade

Raw Story  

Donald Trump barraged Truth Social with questionable claims and baseless accusations against political foes in a series of posts published Wednesday in under 10 minutes. Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FwdBonds, added, “The economy apparently did not need those phantom ‘lost’ workers, because robust real consumer expenditures powered very strong growth in the second half of last year.” The CNN report does not suggest any data had been manipulated and noted "economic data is revised often — especially as more comprehensive information becomes available." "The real Numbers are much worse than that and, if Comrade Kamala gets another four years, millions more Jobs will VANISH overnight, and Inflation will completely destroy our Country," Trump wrote. Meanwhile, several economists have warned Trump's promise to end utility and gas inflation would be "extremely dangerous" to the economy and could trigger a massive recession. "So disgraceful to see the burning of the American Flag and the desecration of Police Cars at the Democrat’s 'Party' taking place in Chicago," Trump wrote at 11:47 ET.
