As layoffs surge and job openings fall, Trump has a talking point he’s excited about: The workforce is the biggest it’s ever been.The trouble is, his talking point means a whole lot less than the data that points to the worst job market Americans have seen in years. http://www.ms.now/rachel-maddo…

Trump's "Golden Age for America" is as fake as the Party City decorations he taped to the walls of the Oval Office.
