The Best Economy Ever is not doing so well, and the jobs numbers are anemic. Don't worry, Trump will get out his Sharpie!
The economy added 130,000 jobs during the month of August, sharply missing expectations and showing a continuation of a softening in the labor market in the face of global economic headwinds. https://t.co/E2iH939OR9

Today’s weak jobs report follows the recent correction to job creation numbers for the year ending March 2019: 500,000 fewer jobs were created than previously announced. #JobsReport #TrumpSlump pic.twitter.com/7MaM6KiBAW

Only 130,000 jobs added. Below expectations.
95,000 new private sector jobs
25,000 short term Census hires.
FACT: @realDonaldTrump nearly ONE MILLION JOBS behind @BarackObama #JobsReport #ByTheNumbersshttps://t.co/nCc1KkdbPw— Joyce Beatty (@RepBeatty) September 6, 2019
The August #JobsReport isn't what @realDonaldTrump was hoping for. Only 130K jobs created - and ~30K of those are temporary jobs assisting the Census.
Manufacturing, which slid into recession this month, only added ~4K jobs. Coal and mining sector LOST jobs.— Max Burns (@themaxburns) September 6, 2019

The US government’s decision to conceal hacking info from the public is undemocratic. The implication is that they will not tell us even if they know hacking changed an election outcome. https://t.co/IpDMjRXvgV— Jennifer Cohn (@jennycohn1) September 5, 2019

It's not just Sharpie-gate. This is part of a broader pattern.
I count at least seven glaring examples in which government officials have wheeled into action in an effort to make Trump’s lies, errors and obsessions into truths.
