Trump claims the U.S. job market is better than it appears and says a single phone call could bring the unemployment rate to zero

According to Odaily, the U.S. unemployment rate in November reached 4.6%, a four-year high, yet Trump argued that a single phone call could bring the unemployment rate down to zero. Analysts point out that such "turning a blind eye" to the public's real experiences puts him at great risk. Questioning the validity of official data could undermine the government's crucial role in helping businesses make informed hiring decisions. Trump's claim that the U.S. job market is better than it actually is may lead people to doubt his own credibility, especially on the economy, which is his most vulnerable issue in the midterm elections.
