Ok, this is getting ridiculous, I can see including those who "gave up" looking for work, but to count those who chose to retire is obscene and is simply an attempt to make a political point based on outright dishonesty.

Trump said what everyone knows.

There is well over 45% unemployement in this country. No matter how you slice it, or dice it.
What ever the Liberal spin is his numbers are closer than only counting the folks that currently qualify for unemployment benefits.

Trumps numbers should include those working minimum wage but does nothing but suplements their goverment assistance.

Anyone recieving government assistance are unemployed.

In all fairness, if Trump were to be elected, the old and infirm would be forces to work in the mines.

At least they could if they wanted to, without losing the golden goose.

Because no retiree is making more than $50K a year.
So under Trump they could recieve retirement benefits and work part time job and not be penalized for it.
Great catch thanks for pointing that out Dan.

Sure, it will be sub-minimal wage pay and their retirement benefits would be reduced or eliminated under Trump.

By the way, people's social security benefits are not reduced if they continue to work after 65.

Then again, anyone who is dumb enough to think that Trump would make a good president really can't be expected to know anything about the subject matter he's arguing.

Under Reagan, ketchup was a vegetable; under Bush II, McDonald's was "manufacturing".

By these standards, why not classify the retired as unemployed?

It would be interesting to know Trump's take on The Economy which is title for the next debate. Here's Everything you need to know about the upcoming October 28 CNBC Presidential Debate Schedule.

While I do think Trump is wrong on economics, there are those who "gave up" work and retired because there were no better alternatives. Some were forced to retire.
