Donald Trump to just go ahead and claim the economy is growing anyway
by Rich Smith 2 years ago 
Donald Trump is minutes away from dismissing US economic figures and pretending the US economy is still growing strongly.
As figures showed the US economy shrank by 0.3% in Trump’s first three months, Trump officials told reporters, “Oh no it didn’t.”
The President took to social media to tell his remaining cult members, “Economic indicators have a well-known liberal bias, which everyone already knows because they showed Biden’s economy growing strongly despite everyone recognising he did a terrible job. Just terrible.
“The economy is actually stronger than it’s ever been, and we’re doing great things with the economy – they’re just trying to bring Trump down by lying about the economy.
“Don’t trust the economic figures, trust me, your one unbiased source of truth.
“If you want America to be great again, it is important that you reject the evidence of your eyes and ears – that is my most essential command.”
