That is an oxymoron. He is just a moron.

“He must have read that somewhere.”

It’s based on their polling - the Dems don’t have much going for them, but they are still perceived as more honest than Republicans...since we never (until now) fought back.

Ever since Nixon, the Republicans have let themselves become known as the party of dishonesty - in part by NOT POINTING OUT the level of dishonesty in the Democrats (until Trump, that is). So if the Republicans say that murders are up 17%, the Dems and the media call them liars because the government is spending more money on Criminal Justice - AND IT STICKS*.

On the other hand if the workforce employment level is at the lowest in modern history, but the president says things are just fine - THAT STICKS TOO, as the Republicans won’t refute him, lest they be called RACISTS.

So Obama is considered ‘honest’ talking about the economy whereas the Republicans are considered ‘dishonest’ talking about the murder rate.

*This is ACTUALLY TRUE - the AP literally debunked Trump’s claim that murders are up 17% by saying it can’t be true, since Criminal Justice spending is also up. This is what we face.
