I'll let him decide which one of those it is.
Trump did not say that 42% of the country does not work.
He said that the 4.9% unemployment rate issued by the BLS is false, and that the rate could be as high as 42%, meaning that 42% of the people in this country are out of work and actively seeking a job.
That 42% would not count stay at home parents or retired people, but only people who want to work but don't have a job.
I'm quite sure that if that number was 42% the ramifications of that would be quite visible to all of us.
Not surprised that GB supports a filthy liar like Trump.
Trump is right and the BLS is lying about the unemployment rate.
And you're lying when you claim he said the rate is 42%.
I guess 20 is the new 42."The number isn't reflective," he said. "I've seen numbers of 24 percent -- I actually saw a number of 42 percent unemployment. Forty-two percent." He continued, "5.3 percent unemployment -- that is the biggest joke there is in this country. … The unemployment rate is probably 20 percent, but I will tell you, you have some great economists that will tell you it's a 30, 32. And the highest I've heard so far is 42 percent."
