Trump is the weakest President I've ever seen.

Trump has this thing about not liking numbers he doesn’t like, election results, crowd sizes, ratings, poll numbers, the price of gasoline, labor statistics.


And his base eats it up every time. At some point, you would think they would catch on—a data point that isn't positive in your favor doesn't mean it's fake.

Having worked fairly closely with the BLS with three presidents I can tell you the data has always been very reliable.

Fire anyone who doesn’t produce Trump’s “alternative facts.”

Alternative facts or are the reports just inaccurate, misleading and politically motivated?

I can see his frustration given the rate cut immediately before election and the odd reports but it’s a bad look for sure.

Her numbers have been fake for years. Too bad you just recognized it now. At some point you realize not to trust the corrupt numbers.

Wonder who intercepted her calls to Powell.

Quit screwing around and fire that POS with her,

I would be onboard with this if it was McEnfarter.

When you only hire leftist Democrats, it’s just D.C. being D.C.

But if you fire a leftist Democrat, authoritarianism approaches.

“I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s [Harris’] chances of Victory,” Trump wrote.


If Trump 2.0 can prove she is cooking the jobs number she should not only be fired, she should be facing some legal action.

For folks whining about it, why shouldn't he do whatever he wants? You will whine anyway. That is the effect of constant whining, he wouldn't recognize legit criticism because he hears so much bullshite.

As a counterpoint, if every report is going to be revised to such an extent that the report is useless when it is released, someone should be fired.

This. Why didn't he just say he was firing her for being incompetent?

Why did he have to imply he was firing her because "she faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory"? I mean, if that's why she was faking the numbers before the election, why has she been faking the numbers since?

It's just yet another example of 'don't blame something on conspiracy that is more easily explained by incompetence'.
