Never one to give President Trump credit for his accomplishments, Nancy Pelosi trashed the jobs report that was released Friday – even though Blackrock called it “the greatest of all time.”
President Trump is following through with his campaign promises to the American people. Not only is he making the United States stronger, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. economy created 201,000 new jobs in August — more than the 190,000 expected — and unemployment stayed at 3.9%. Moreover, wages grew 2.9% year-on-year – all credited to the President.
Breitbart reports:
Blackrock, an investment company, praised it not just for the numbers in it, “but rather for the fact that it serves as something of a capstone.. the greatest run of job gains in US history, with 19 million new jobs created since the start of 2010,” according to CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla.
Even former President Barack Obama, in a speech attacking President Donald Trump, acknowledged that the Trump economy was doing “great” — though he felt that he deserved credit for it, and mocked Republicans who criticized his economic record.
But “great” or “greatest of all time” was still not great enough for Pelosi, who tweeted that the August jobs report “further evidence that the soaring cost of living for families continues to lead to stagnant real wage growth for workers.”

She issued a longer statement:
August’s jobs report shows that the soaring cost of living for families continues to lead to stagnant real wage growth for workers.
While the wealthy and well-connected fill their pockets, hard-working men and women are struggling to keep up with everyday needs that are getting more and more expensive. Families across the country are facing soaring health costs from the GOP’s sabotage campaign and skyrocketing prescription drug prices from the same Big Pharma companies that were just handed massive unpaid-for tax breaks by the GOP tax scam for the rich. But instead of fighting for families and seniors, the Republican Congress wants to add even more to the deficit with even bigger tax breaks for the wealthiest 1 percent, hoping to force cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
The American people deserve better than a Republican Congress and Administration that ransacks their pocketbooks and futures again and again, just to enrich the GOP’s special interest friends. Democrats are fighting For The People: lowering their health care costs and prescription drug prices, increasing pay through strong economic growth by rebuilding America, and cleaning up corruption to make Washington work for the American people.
The inflation rate is currently reported to be 2.9%.
Pelosi was mocked on Twitter for trying to spin Trump’s accomplishment into a negative.
And what were the numbers during the Obama administration-your only loyalty is to the party you are a career politician (over 30 yrs) that has long outlived your ability to represent your constituents-please start thinking of Americans and not yourself

This country went from having a terrible job market to an amazing one. I was unemployed through multiple layoffs directly due to the policies of the Democrat party and Obama. When Trump flipped the script the jobs returned and I now have my dream job.

Shit I'm so upset. I received a $2.50 an hour raise over the past 2 years. Trump needs to go. How dare my income increase to the point my hard work actually pays off. I no longer have to live paycheck to paycheck. It's absolutely revolting that I can save money. $MAGA

Good try Nancy, but the numbers don’t lie. As you can see from the response you got on Twitter, you can only spin so much before people call you out on it.
