Summary

New economic data from the Congressional Budget Office analyzing Trump-enomics put a lie to Trump’s “all new numbers” that showed a phony $2,000 increase in household income under Trump. In reality, the poorest 10 percent just got poorer any 1200 a year, including a loss in federal benefits, and the rich got richer by an eye popping $13,600 per household. Michael Popok takes a close look at Trump’s lies to the American People about his failed economy. Head to https://ProlonLife.com/LEGALAF to get 15% off their 5-day nutrition program.

0:00.0	See, that it'd take long for the lie to be put to Donald Trump's own financial victory lap about American households being improved by $2,000.
0:11.7	And those are real numbers that were being hidden by the Democrats.
0:15.4	Not so fast, Trump.
0:17.7	The office, the Congressional Budget Office, which is independent from the executive branch, ran its
0:25.5	own numbers and determined that the poorest 10% of Americans, because of the loss of their
0:33.8	benefits, mainly Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP benefits, and disability payments are going to be poorer
0:41.3	by $1,200 a year because of Trump policies, and that the richest 10% are going to be richer or enriched by $13,600
0:53.3	because of the tax cuts that Donald Trump has supported.

1:03.4	they're supposed to be dignity and hard work.
1:06.0	And it's okay, of course, that you have not been able to become an oligarch under Donald Trump. But why should you
1:12.4	suffer and have a $1,200 worse off household pocketbook when you're already on the low end of the
1:21.6	spectrum? Why? And that's what Democrats are demanding answers to. I mean, we just had Donald Trump trot out an economist that he liked from the Heritage Foundation, who happened to be roaming around for a meeting with Donald Trump, bringing some big graphs. And Donald Trump, he brought two charts. One based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports about Joe Biden.
1:46.2	Donald Trump didn't love that as much because he's been criticizing the Bureau of Labor
1:50.1	Statistics as being rigged against him because they reduced the amount of job creation.
1:54.3	But he loved the chart that this guy created based on Bureau of Labor Statistics, statistics,
1:59.7	that showed that there was an increase
2:01.8	in household income by about $2,000. And Donald Trump declared real numbers. We just got these.
2:08.9	They're just out. Look at this chart. This chart's better than that chart. And now we've got
