Donald Trump: Obama Administration Skewed Jobs Numbers
Also called the President "the worst foreign policy president in the history of the country,"
Donald Trump hopped aboard the jobs report "truther" train on Monday, accusing President Barack Obama's administration of "monkeying" with the September numbers in order to paint a rosier picture of the economic situation ahead of the presidential election.
After calling Obama "the worst foreign policy president in the history of the country," Trump told Fox News that he agreed with other CEOs and pundits who had endorsed conspiracy theories about how the unemployment rate dropped from 8.1 to 7.8 percent last month.
