Figures are through 2016. That’s Obama’s terms in office. Read the whole article and you’ll see this at the end. It’s been known that poverty increased during Obama’s time in office. Then this clown says it “seems” that Trump increased poverty...

Same dipsh!+s:

“Americans are getting poorer [during the Trump recovery].”

“Global warming is real [as we stumble out of the longest winter in years].”

There is no poverty in America unless you want to be impovrished. Pleanty of social programs to keep youbfed, clothed and sheltered with enough left over for tatoos.

Reads like a DNC press release.

It tells me that the United Nations is bashing the USA again...and that they are covering for Barack Obama, and his mistakes while potus.

Under Obama, misery was shared equally.

The UN needs to worry about its child trafficking and child rape crimes before worrying about anything in OUR country.

It amazes me how so many professional "poor" are visibly, bulgingly beyond well-nourished, they typically have better phones than do I, and somehow they accomplish precisely nothing, even with such endless free time.

America’s “poor” are among the most prosperous in the world.

Go back to your shithole country, pally.

When Obama was President, we had 100% employment, everyone earned $1 million per year, there were no crimes and everyone was happy.

“Philip Alston, U.N. special rapporteur on extreme poverty”

Let’s see how “poor” we can make the UN! I guess “rapporteur” is French for worthless POS!

The devil is in the details. When you are pushing an agenda you let the Devil mind the details for you and just make it up as you go along.

I generally like Australians. But I guess they contribute their “$hit people” to the UN, just like most countries.

Funny, that paragraph gets tossed in at the end ... it could and should have been the opener .. I.e., “citing only US Census Bureau figure through 2016 ... .”

You can always count on Reuters and the MSM to obfuscate.

What this tells me is the NWO ruling elite controls the clowns in the UN to bash Trump like the MSM does, with lies and innuendo and that they fear President Trump will defeat them and their agenda.
