AP FACT CHECK: Trump's double-false claim about GDP

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told Fox Business Network the country reached a rate of growth last quarter that hadn't been seen in 14 years. That's false in two ways and correct in none.

TRUMP: "We just did 3.2 ... 3.2 is a number that they haven't hit in 14 years." — interview broadcast Wednesday.

THE FACTS: It's nowhere close to the best in 14 years, by any measure. The rise in the first quarter of 3.2% in the gross national product was only the best since last year. It was surpassed in the second and third quarters with rates of 4.2% and 3.4% respectively.

Perhaps he meant to say it was the best first-quarter growth in 14 years. But that's not right, either. It's the best in four years.

The economy grew by 3.3% in the first quarter of 2015. So President Barack Obama has a better first-quarter record than Trump to date.

2. Our Serial Liar Pseudo Prez

He is a despicable human being and an evil stupid fake President who lost by 3 million votes. Thank you for nothing Electoral College, what a scam.

We live in Bizarro Land or so it seems. Just on the Emollients clause he should be run out on a rail.

He is what he is, but equal blame must be placed on his meek minions like southern Belle Lindsay Graham.....who called him an effing liar before he was elected. No shame whatsoever about anything in that party, at least in Congress.
