TUR: There’s some apples-to-oranges there; we’ll leave that aside. It is not, though, for the first time in 100 years. That is factually incorrect.

SCHLAPP: When was the last time that was true?

TUR: That happened during George W. Bush — 2006. It happened multiple times before that. That’s factually not true. Is he just not aware of how those numbers work? Is he putting it out there knowing it’s false? What’s happening there?

SCHLAPP: All I would say is, is this — that the apples and the oranges when it comes to economic analysis actually matter. What kind of data are you looking at?

[CROSSTALK]

TUR: He said it’s the first time in over 100 years. That is not true.

SCHLAPP: But the part that — I don’t know how many years it is, but what’s the point of the tweet? The point of the tweet is that, for all Americans — liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, no matter the color of your skin — there is greater economic opportunity today than before Donald Tru—

TUR: But why won’t he just come out and say something that is true that doesn’t force everybody to fact-check him? Is the point that he enjoys it when the press fact-checks him, because then he can make it look like we are his foil? Is that intentional, what he is doing, or does he just not understand the numbers, and does he not care about being correct when he’s talking to the American people?

SCHLAPP: Or where the press gets it wrong — are they lying?
