President-elect Donald Trump is taking credit for a surge in US holiday spending that he says has exceeded $1 trillion.

But Americans haven't spent close to that amount, according to the National Retail Federation.

Holiday spending is instead on track to reach a combined $656 billion in November and December, according to the NRF

Sort of like:

•40% of all gun sales at gun shows are without a background check.
• It's easier for a child to get their hands in a gun than it is a book.
• If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
• People can just order a gun over the internet without a background check

Sort of like those statements Fit?

Trump won a campaign by making crap up. Most of it was so blatantly inaccurate that no 'fact checker' was necessary.

Do you think his followers care about facts?

Posted ironically.

You've never cared about facts before. So why are you on here blasting people for not caring about facts?

Your side chooses to believe Donald Trump over scientists. Let that sink in.

Do you see the disconnect between the way scientists justify their conclusions and the way 'skeptics' justify their skepticism?

I'll bite.

What did he make up that "won him a campaign"? Specifically. AS in, stuff that actually was considered. (and no, no one voted on Polar bears stuck on ice poles or whatever).

So let me get this straight. Trump's not in office, but when something goes wrong it's Trump's fault but if goes good it's not his fault. Ya'll need to make up your minds. Either it's all him or it's not. You can't pick and choose.

I think both sides need to make up their minds in regards to this subject.

A scientist is just a human being like Trump, you and me. They have agendas, bias's and the need to get paid.

I can concur with this. Unless it's something he's directly involved with.
