Unemployment is at a 4 year high - Black unemployment is solidly at recession levels.
VARNEY: The latest jobs report showed unemployment hitting 4 year high. You must be disappointed. Do you trust the numbers?
LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: When I look at the numbers, I think we saw a solid report
V: Interesting diplomatic move, to say a 4 year high for unemployment is actually good news

Brass Plaques, Empty Promises
Trump lies in prime time, lets healthcare costs explode, kills abroad without accountability, and mounts his grievances on the White House wall.
