Economy

More than 103,000 jobs were created in March as the unemployment rate remained stable into April. At the start of the quarter, the U.S. stock market experienced daily sell-offs and recoveries due to a burgeoning U.S.–China trade war and increased political scrutiny of American business icons Amazon and Facebook.[1][2] In May, the U.S. Labor Department reported a seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 3.9% for April and an increase of 164,000 jobs. Wages grew by 2.6%. Hiring gains were broad based with jobs being added in the fields of professional and business services, health care, manufacturing, and mining.[3]

  • President Trump says in response to the situation: "I hate to see separation of parents and children ... I hate the children being taken away." Trump then falsely blames the Democrats for the situation when it was the Trump administration's own "zero tolerance" policy announced on April 6, 2018, which is responsible for spurring the separations.[112] He also says he "certainly wouldn't sign the more moderate" immigration bill proposed by House leaders with input from moderate Republicans and the White House.[113]
  • The Washington Post quotes a White House official as saying that Trump's decision to enforce the current immigration law is "force people to the table" to negotiate on laws in Congress.[114] Meanwhile, Trump tweets: "Any Immigration Bill MUST HAVE full funding for the Wall, end Catch & Release, Visa Lottery and Chain, and go to Merit Based Immigration."[115]
  • In June 2018, Trump falsely claims that a report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz "totally exonerates" him, despite the report's having nothing to do with the 2017 special counsel investigation, the Trump campaign or Russia.
