Trump attacks U.S. economics data, baselessly alleging electoral scheme
==========
Donald Trump, during a campaign event in Asheboro, N.C. on August 21, 2024, accused the Biden-Harris administration of manipulating job statistics without evidence, claiming a revision of 818,000 fewer jobs created between April 2023 and March 2024 was politically motivated. He incorrectly stated that such a revision had never occurred before. Trump's speech, intended to focus on national security, frequently shifted to personal attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, where he acknowledged difficulty in maintaining a policy focus. He informally polled the crowd, receiving more support for personal attacks. This event marked his first outdoor campaign appearance with bulletproof glass following an assassination attempt. Trump criticized the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and called for resignations of military officials involved in the process. His running mate, Sen. JD Vance, labeled the withdrawal as 'treason.' Trump previously won 78% of the vote in Randolph County in 2020.
