Now. And that is way down from the high of almost 69 around there a few years back and it hasnt been this low since 1965. So this claim by donald trump is true. Now, trump went on to say families are making a lot less money than they once did. American households are earning more than 4,000. Think of that. 4,000 less today than they were 16 years ago. If you look at Median Household Income for 2014, it is 53,657. Which, again, is the most recent year for which we have complete government data. And, yes, that is 4,000 less than in 2000. But, analysis by other researchers say since 2014, this number has jumped up a good bit. Trump did not say he was using numbers that were two years old. That makes this claim false. And lastly, lets look at trumps claim that the unemployment data is just a mess because so many people have dropped out of the workforce. There are now 94. 3 million americans outside of the labor force. It was 80. 5 million when president obama took office. An increase of 14
Water, medical supplies just sitting at the port in san juan. Not reaching those in need. Moments ago the mayor of san juan made this plea.

Happening now in the newsroom do you think that the president is laying the groundwork to fire mueller . I just hope it doesnt go there, because it cant. We cant in congress accept that. I dont think the president will fire Robert Mueller. I dont think it would be appropriate for him to do so. And i dont think hell do it. And if he did do it, it would be inappropriate. If he tried to do that, that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency, because were a rule of law nation. This would undoubtedly result in a constitutional crisis, and i think democrats and republicans need to speak out about this right now. I dont see the president firing him. I think the white house has said ten times, maybe more, that they are not going to fire Robert Mueller. They want to be able to finish the investigation. Cnn newsroom starts now. All right.
