https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/08/politics/donald-trump-labor-day-press-conference/index.htmlUS President Donald Trump speaks during a labor day press conference at the North Portico of the White House in Washington, DC on September 7, 2020.
(CNN)President Donald Trump held a news conference gave a speech on Labor Day, a grievance-and-falsehood-filled address that was more fitting for a campaign rally than the White House.
I went through his remarks and pulled out the lines you need to see. They're below.
1. "Happy Labors -- Labor Day."
And away we go!
2. "As you probably see, the numbers are terrific. So we called some people, wished them a very happy Labor Day. And they told us how they're doing."
What numbers? What people? How are they doing?
3. "The unemployment rate plunged, really to the surprise of many, all the way down to 8 -- 8.4% in August. And that's the second-largest single-month decline on record. And we have the first; we have both of them. So we have the two number one declines. Decline meaning positive, not negative."

"We have a V shape; it's probably a super V."
Trump is talking about the shape of the economic recovery. A "V"-shaped recovery is one where things collapse quickly and recover quickly. A "Super V" recovery is, um, not a thing. (Joe Biden has said this is a K-shaped recovery.

shut up for a while. I will wait patiently, wait until Biden stomps trump's ass as he so thoroughly desires in Nov. 2020, and then open my homemade bottle of wine, and celebrate. Then when all is said and done, time to roll up the sleeves, and support our representatives and Mr. Biden in Washington DC.
