CNN Host Issued A Double Dog Dare, And The GOP Delivered

On Friday, President Trump teased the latest jobs report. He clearly knew it was overflowing with positive news.

Looking forward to seeing the employment numbers at 8:30 this morning.

And good news there was.

We have a record number of employed Americans– 155,474,000. The number of unemployed Americans dropped to 6,065,000. The number of employed women over 16 hit a record (the unemployment rate for that category is 3.6 percent, which hasn’t been that low since 1953) and the number of employed men is at an “all-time high.” The African American unemployment rate is at an all-time low (5.9 percent), and the overall unemployment rate is a spry 3.8 percent, the lowest number in 18 years.

Heck to the yeah.

Leave it to libs to somehow twist this into being a bad thing. Instead of focusing on the stellar report, they decided to freak out over Trump’s pre-jobs report tease. In fact, CNN’s John King straight up challenged everyone to find ONE President of the past who has DARED to tease a jobs report before its official release.

The GOP delivered.

Today the media hyperventilated when @realDonaldTrump teased the monthly Jobs Report.
They dared us to find a president who had done this before.
We did. ⬇ pic.twitter.com/lHro5miD04

GOP out with response to @JohnKingCNN‘s dare that no one could find any president commenting on jobs numbers ahead of release. President Obama, who usually had weak numbers, sometimes warned about them a day ahead, for example: https://t.co/lpJbMiCopZ

This is an example of the proper way to use social media to fight poor journalism and false claims. @JohnKingCNN at #CNN needs to go on the air and let people know that he made a mistake. I think if journalists would admit errors they could regain some credibility. https://t.co/G98q9mf0tq

The only difference? Obama was preparing us for a sucktastic report. Trump was preparing us for a great one.

I don’t know about you, but I’ll take the latter.
