Meaningless MAGA goober lies and speculation....belongs in the round filing cabinet beside my desk.

The problem for Trump is that there are multiple private sector reports that businesses also use, including private employment information, manufacturing index, etc., plus people:s old fashioned gut.

Tell the rest of the world to remove.THEIR tariffs, open up their markets to U.S.competition and maybe they can get the 10% sweetheart deal the UK received. There is a reason China is running a $1T trade surplus while America is being fleeced. Stop allowing the billionaires on wall street to convince you to cut your own nose off. A trade reset is long overdue

The rest of the world now has SUBSTANTIALLY lower sales tax tariffs than we do.

Trump’s Firing of Labor Statistician Isn’t Just Petty—It’s a Despotic Red Flag​

President Donald Trump’s governance has always leaned more on narrative than fact. But his decision to fire Dr. Erika McEntarfer—the career economist leading the Bureau of Labor Statistics—after the release of a disappointing July jobs report is something altogether different.
It’s a direct attack on the very idea of nonpartisan government data. And it carries dangerous echoes of despotic regimes that punished truth-tellers for speaking plainly.
In a Friday post on Truth Social, Trump accused McEntarfer, a Biden-era appointee, of “faking the job numbers,” and said he had “terminated her effective immediately.” During a brief gaggle with reporters that evening, Trump offered no evidence to support his claim, dodging follow-ups and instead conjuring vague allusions to what his base will clearly read as deep state manipulation.
Let’s be clear: we do not know whether the July jobs numbers are perfectly accurate. But we do know that the Bureau of Labor Statistics—founded in 1884—has long been viewed as a gold-standard institution, staffed by career professionals, immune from political interference, and deeply embedded in both domestic policy and global finance. If its data can now be dismissed as fake without evidence, then what numbers, if any, are trustworthy?
That’s not just a theoretical concern. Investors, analysts, and foreign central banks rely on BLS data to assess the health of the U.S. economy. Undermining its credibility, especially without justification, weakens confidence in every American economic indicator. The moment labor statistics are seen as partisan products, markets begin to price in political risk, and the United States’ economic reputation erodes in real-time.
This kind of behavior is not without precedent—it just usually happens in autocracies.
In Zimbabwe, under Robert Mugabe, economists were punished or disappeared when they reported inconvenient inflation data. In Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro jailed statisticians who resisted massaging economic figures. And in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has repeatedly fired heads of the national statistics agency when inflation reports didn’t align with official talking points. Each case led to the same outcome: a loss of institutional trust, a collapse in credibility, and economic chaos.
Trump, in this sense, is employing a subtler version of the same despotic script.

Firing a government official like Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), without evidence and for political reasons raises serious legal and ethical concerns, but whether it is technically illegal depends on the specific laws and protections governing the position.

For many federal agencies, especially independent ones, laws often provide some protections against removal except for cause (such as misconduct or incompetence). For example, a recent case found that President Trump's firing of an FTC commissioner was illegal because it violated statutory removal protections designed to keep the agency independent and free from political pressure1.

In the case of McEntarfer, she was a Senate-confirmed official at the BLS, an agency that traditionally operates with professional, nonpartisan standards to ensure data integrity. Experts worry that firing her solely due to the reported data not pleasing political interests undermines trust and independence34.

While it's unclear if specific laws explicitly protect the BLS commissioner from firing without cause, there is significant criticism and alarm from economists, labor groups, and some lawmakers who see this as political intimidation and a dangerous precedent348.

Whether the firing was legally valid may require judicial review or congressional inquiry, as similar removals of independent officials have been challenged in court for violating removal protections1.

In summary, firing her without evidence and for political reasons is widely viewed as improper and potentially illegal if it violates statutory protections for her position. It also threatens the independence and credibility of important government data. Courts have ruled against such politically motivated firings in some agencies, but it depends on the specific legal framework for the BLS commissioner134.

President Trump fires BLS commissioner after July jobs report​

President Trump said in a social media post Friday afternoon that he directed members of his administration to fire Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after the BLS on Friday published the July jobs report that contained what it called "larger than normal" revisions to data from May and June.

Controlling the information given to the people, is one of the steps that Dictators need to control the population.

The dictator’s dilemma: The distortion of information flow in autocratic regimes and its consequences​

This is what Trump is now trying to destroy!

AI Overview

The United States has a long-standing reputation for its robust system of collecting and disseminating labor and economic statistics. Agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are key players in this effort.
Here's why the US is seen as a leader in this field:

• Established history: The BLS, established in 1884, has a long history of collecting high-quality data on various aspects of the nation's economy, including labor force participation, wages, prices, and productivity. Similarly, the BEA, founded in 1972, provides crucial data on national, regional, industry, and international economic accounts, including the widely-cited Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
• Comprehensive data collection: The BLS and BEA collect data through a combination of surveys, censuses, and administrative records, producing a broad range of statistics on employment, unemployment, wages, inflation (measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI)), and productivity, among other indicators. For example, the BLS conducts the Current Population Survey (CPS) to gather labor force information from households.
• Accuracy and Impartiality: BLS data aims to be relevant, timely, accurate, impartial, and accessible to all users. The BLS is committed to independence from partisan interests, ensuring its data's credibility and reliability.
• Impact on Policy and Decision-Making: U.S. economic data significantly impacts policymakers, researchers, businesses, and the public. This data informs critical decisions related to monetary policy, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans, among others.

Here is an example of the opposite, by a country run by a Dictator:

Putin’s War on Truth​

Trump continues to follow the guidelines for becoming a dictator.

For those supporting Trump, I hope that you enjoy (and can live with) the cutting off of data, statistics, and facts in order to support fake truths that Trump wants you to believe.

The BLS Commissioner aside, if the left keeps funding the pro-Marxist rioters and protesters throughout this administration, I wouldn't see a problem with invoking Martial Law, setting a curfew and rounding up the rioters and their funders and charging them with sedition.

Well, looking for the tiniest sliver of sanity, it's nice to know that at least A FEW Republicans have some shame left:

Republicans tell Trump to ‘grow up’ after he sacks data chief

 

[Mac1958]

So now, who is he going to put in that position?

Obviously it will be someone who only allows for stats of which he approves, and we're not going to have any idea of what the real numbers are.

So who is next? Who will be obedient enough? Who will only issue numbers that don't hurt Trump's feelings?

Lauren Boebert? Kid Rock?

 

[Mac1958]

You guys seriously don’t see how Trump makes this country look stupid and pathetic?

No. They really don't. That tells you a great deal about them.

They don't see that, WHENEVER he sees something that hurts his feelings, he says it's "fake" and "rigged" against him.

They don't ******* see that.

I’m not upset about it.

It’s just another demonstration of Trump’s childish pettiness and mismanagement.

Yes, yes…if he would only do what democrats tell him to do, is that it?
