"With his approval ratings under 40%, administration officials mired in corruption scandals, and every one of his policies underwater, Trump delivered a campaign rally. To answer Americans’ concerns about his economic policies, the slowing of economic growth, and rising inflation, he insisted that he had “inherited a nation in crisis” but had “achieved a transformation like no one has ever seen before.” He proceeded to claim that the economy is booming, using statistics that were either made up or staggeringly misleading, like his boast that “in one year we have lifted 2.4 million Americans—a record—off of food stamps.” In fact, Republicans cut food assistance from those people, so they are indeed off the rolls, but “lifted” is doing a lot of work in that sentence." —Heather Cox Richardson

It would be like if Hitler claimed that Auschwitz kept families together, because they sent so many families to the gas chambers upon arrival.

...his boast that “in one year we have lifted 2.4 million Americans—a record—off of food stamps.”
As usual, he picks the wrong word. He meant to say ejected not "lifted".

Maybe he means "lifted" in the sense of shoplifted - stolen. I stole food stamps from 2.4 million Americans.
