In response to a question about voters in last week’s elections citing the economy as their top concern, Trump floated a conspiracy theory about Democrats feeding negative talking points to every major news network. His evidence: Nobody uses the archaic word manufactured anymore!
“More than anything else, it’s a con job by the Democrats,” Trump said. “You know they put out something, ‘Say today, costs are up.’ They feed it to the anchors of ABC, CBS, NBC, and a lot of other, you know, CNN, etc. And it’s like a standard. I’ll never forget, they used a word like manufactured. Remember the word manufactured? ‘It’s a manufactured economy!’ Nobody uses that word. Every anchor broke in, manufactured. They do exactly what they say. It’s such a rigged system.”
The president insisted that, contrary to what you might have heard or experienced firsthand, “costs are way down.”
Later in the interview, he dismissed voters’ economic concerns for an entirely different reason. Americans aren’t worried about the cost of living because they’re falling victim to a fake-news “con job,” they’re actually happy with the economy, but the “polls are fake.”
