Part 2/7:
Trump openly questioned the authenticity of recent economic and employment figures, suggesting they were manipulated prior to elections to favor Democratic candidates like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. He referenced an incident where, shortly after the 2020 election, the official job numbers surged dramatically, only to be revised downward significantly by mid-November, implying such revisions cast doubt on the credibility of government data.
"Why should anyone trust the numbers?" Trump asked rhetorically. He pointed out that favorable statistics were released before the election to bolster Democratic campaigns, only to be corrected afterward. "It didn't work because you know who won? I won," he asserted confidently.
