Verbatim: Exactly what Trump said about ‘another big jobs number’

Exactly what Trump said in the interview

Exactly what Trump said in the interview
Trump spoke with Fox & Friends yesterday and touched on the non-farm payrolls report for Friday. His comments got a wide airing because they were framed as him predicting a strong employment report.
Here’s what he actually said:
Based on all the numbers we’re getting, and you’ll have a big number on Friday. I don’t know what it’s going to be, but you’ll have another jobs number. Last two months we set a record on the job numbers. And now we will have another big job number on Friday, so it’ll be interesting to see what that is. But we are heading definitely a V.
He explicitly says he doesn’t know what the number is going to be. Now, he’s a notorious liar so I wouldn’t necessarily take that at face value.
He does say it’s ‘based on the all the numbers we’re getting’ which implies there is some data behind that conclusion but it could be no more than a read on the +1.5m consensus. That’s ‘big’ by any historical definition and the President will surely tout anything over +1m as a huge win (and why not?).
There’s been far too much emphasis on the word ‘big’. It has two definitions, one is ‘large’ but the other is ‘important’ and it’s the latter that he’s using here.

Yesterday Sensex Rallied 777 :Properties of the number 777

Symbolism

  • This number joins together the principles of the man, 700, the cosmic plans, 70, and their image in the Archetype, 7, according to R. Allendy. It is the universal organization, 7 + 7 + 7 = 21, the general evolution.
  • Represent the celestial perfection, 7, on the 3 plans of the manifestation: matter, astral (mental or soul) and spirit.
  • It is the number of the sacred work of the sons of God for the establishment of the Kingdom of God on the Earth, mainly for the period of the seventh millennium after Adam where it is written that Satan will be chained for thousand years.
  • In esotericism, 777 means that virgin spirits (those to which God gave the life with the mission to rise towards the Creator, until to absorb themselves again in Him) will know 777 incarnations during seven revolutions that the wave of life accomplishes around the seven globes of the seven world periods. The symbolism of this number is therefore the ascension of the soul through the physical body.
  • According to the tradition of Himalayan masters, 777 is the number of the celestial man and symbolizes the transmutation which takes place at the time where the man becomes conscious of the necessity to cover the path of initiation, and that he perceives, even of an elementary manner, that the goal is in God.
  • The purity – does not father and is not fathered.
