No, the Unemployment Rate Didn’t Really Drop in May

"BLS asserts that 20,935,000 Americans were unemployed in May, attributing the decline to employers adding 2,509,000 jobs in May as states allowed “a limited resumption of economic activity.” But it’s not that simple. The unexpected decline in the jobless rate is based on a survey of businesses and households conducted over the week of May 16th, and BLS has also reported that 29,965,415 Americans received unemployment insurance benefits in the same week.  That’s a gap of 8,980,415 people, enough to raise the May jobless rate 5.7 percentage points to 19.0 percent and much closer to economists’ expectations."

...

"It would be unprecedented for the White House to pressure the Labor Department to produce a jobless report that serves Donald Trump’s needs and desires.  But unlike the May unemployment report, it would not surprise anyone."

He started off a little bit on the wrong foot, so I quit reading
"President Donald Trump had the temerity to boast that George Floyd, the unarmed black man killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis, was “looking down from heaven” to admire those numbers. “This is a great day for him,” Trump said in the Rose Garden. “This is a great day for everybody.”

I'm not finding a link to a YouTube video where Trump is mentioning that Floyd was looking down from heaven to admire the numbers.
Maybe Shapiro should have included a link in his column.

25% of the country was deplorable in 2016. 

25% assumes Republicans were half the nation (they were not and are not), all Republicans were Trumpkins (they were not and are not),  and HRC meant half literally (she likely did not).

I'd guess Republicans were about 40%, and at most 35% of them were core Trump supporters. Even if we take "half" literally, the deplorables were  7%.

I think this means that you didn't watch the YouTube video that you linked.
It starts off with something about equal justice, in case you missed it.

Got it.
She didn't differentiate between "core" Trump supporters and just plain old people who might vote for Trump over herself. So she didn't mean what she said, so it's really only 7%. Even tho she essentially said 30 million voters are in a basket of deplorables.
Care to share your mathematical analysis and interpretative instincts on Biden's 10-15% comment ?  And no fair starting with the premise that Joe was referring only to Republicans who are "core" Trump supporters.
