Promises would be putting it generously. It is a trail of fraud and Ponzi scheming, which has defined Donald Trump's entire bankrupted life. When you zoom in on Florida Trump's approval, net negative 15 right there. And you can see why. I mean, the interview Trump gave on Friday, did you see it on Punch Bowl, where Trump said, look, if I were to rank myself zero to 100 on the Economy right now. I would give myself a 150 because things have never been better. We're in a golden age. Just ask the people in Florida, right? Their electricity prices are down. That's not true.

Donald Trump 1:43
But our country right now is doing better than it's ever done. You know, when I see polls on the economy, I should have I should have a hundred and fifty percent, not a hundred percent. Because we have the greatest this is the golden age of America. What's being built now in this country has never ever been built. And we're really we are literally in the golden age of America. And uh I think people are starting I actually think Yeah. We'll see.

89 days.
Donald Trump 2:09
We'll see if they it's gonna be very exciting.
Ben Meiselas 2:11
And then Donald throws Byron Donald under the bus. And he said, you know, people like me. The issue is they don't like other Republicans. And so nothing I can do if they don't like these other Republicans, but they want me. That's what Donald Trump's campaign message is here. Play this clip. Do you MAGA Inc. the superpower?
Unknown 2:33
That you that your allies control has a lot of m money and a lot of people.
Donald Trump 2:37
Not my allies, I control it.
Unknown 2:38
Okay. You and your allies. Are you gonna spend it? You're gonna spend it in the midterms.
Donald Trump 2:46
Uh I could spend it on pretty much anything I want. I'm gonna spend it for pol I'm gonna help Republicans.
Unknown 2:52
I mean so when you say I don't care No, I didn't say that. I said some people say that.
Donald Trump 2:56
Yeah, look, I mean I could do a lot easier. I don't have to be away in Nevada yesterday. I didn't have to be in Los Angeles yesterday making speeches. I didn't have to be supporting all the people.

I have records in many of the states, the most votes ever in Texas and Florida and many, many states, Alabama. You can go through a many, many states. Uh the most votes ever. The question is And they're asking this question, and I've had some great polls recently, real polls, but they're great polls. Uh, if I don't run, will those people go out and vote?
Donald Trump 3:41
And that's the one thing I can't tell. I'm gonna ask them to, but I'm just watching guys like you and you're very talented people. Uh the question is, will they vote? Because a lot of them are very angry. And Republicans, to be honest with you.

What does the recent jobs‑loss report reveal about the Florida economy and Trump’s claims of a “golden age”?

Donald Trump 3:57
They're angry at Republic I don't know. I mean they're angry at Republicans, but they're not angry. They're not angry at me, but they are angry at Republicans.
