The Donald just had to find any bad news he could so he used a future projection rather than today's numbers.

(11,641 posts)2. Although Trump did use the 2013 CBO numbers he did make it sound like
he was using current numbers with the disdain he showed for the report. I thought that he was using current numbers too until seeing the quote today and referenced to the CBO 2013 figures.
Basically I consider what he was did as lying through nuance. He's a great used car salesman and that's about it. Basically a con man with a lot of money.

just because he has a lot of credit doesn't mean he's smart as the last few months has shown us.
Just by looking at his hair you can see he's a fucking weirdo
By the time its all over he'll be reduced to a carnival side show

A rich moron, but a moron, nevertheless.
Morons abound.
