… Trump gave another unhinged interview filled with lies on CNBC this morning, with host Joe Kernen sometimes trying to fact-check him, sometimes laughing at him, sometimes shaking his head, but generally letting Trump unload his firehose of lies.
… Trump: “I have the best poll numbers I ever had because people love the tariffs. Kernan: No, you don’t have the best poll numbers in overall numbers. You don’t. Among Republicans, maybe. Trump: I have poll numbers where I’m at 71%. Kernan: Those are Republicans. Trump: No, with Republicans I’m at 94%. Kernan: Some polls have you in the 30s. Trump: They’re fake polls. I’m in the 70s.”
… Kernan also fact-checked Trump on the lie he’s been telling that downward revisions in jobs numbers weren’t released until after the election to help Kamala Harris: “The revision last year was in August. There was still plenty of time for voters to see those weren’t real jobs. Trump: No. It was after the election in November. I believe it was in November. Kernan: It was in August. Trump: The numbers were rigged.”
