One more step, in the guidelines to becoming a dictator, that Trump took today!

[struth]

Trump did not like the weak employment numbers.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/trump-erika-mcentarfer-jobs-report-fired.html

In another age this would cause an outrage.

Trump accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of being a political appointee who was manipulating jobs data.

Anything Trump does not like is rigged or fixed.

It is a lie.

Is this the guy that had to have his numbers revised repeatedly? Including claiming 818k jobs created that never were there under xiden?

 

[Marener]

4.5% under Trump killing housing but zero under the muzzlim? Something stinks like the Corpse.

Trump’s policies are bad for the economy and bad for inflation and he’s lashing out to blame someone else.

Pretty typical of Trump.

Textbook example of shooting the messenger. Textbook blame shifting. This turd never takes responsibility for his fuckups.

What a titty baby this guy is!

Trump's reality distortion field is starting to put a serious strain on the nation's power grid.

But here's the thing.

The Fed takes employment numbers into account when they consider lowering or raising interest rates.

Trump should run with this as it means they will probably lower the funds rate next month.

Economic scientists have a consensus that a lot higher number of jobs were created, yet the number reported was much lower which benefits leftists like those who appointed this dame.

Trump fires the head of the bureau of labor statistics after a reduction in the jobs numbers. The same head of BLS lowered Biden's 2024 job numbers to the second largest downward adjustment in history,
MAGA was on this site saying Biden inflated jobs numbers as proven by the the BLS continually lowering the numbEr of jobs created in a month.
Now, this same guy adjusts Trump's numbers down and he is fired. Unfricking believable. This is not a democracy.
If anyone, in government, does not do what Trump wants they are fired or prosecuted,
This happens in North Korea and Russia. WHAT HAVE WE BECOME.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) frequently revises its monthly jobs numbers. These revisions can be both upward and downward, and are a normal part of the process of collecting and refining economic data.
However, in August 2024, the BLS announced a preliminary downward revision of 818,000 jobs for the year ending in March 2024. This was the second-largest benchmark revision on record and followed a larger-than-normal pattern of downward revisions in monthly jobs numbers throughout 2024.

Zero-hedge is for morons who read Ayn Rand cliffs notes (and claim to have read the entire book) and fantasize about shooting Americans in a post apocalyptic hellscape.

The Cliff Notes for any Ayn Rand novel are three pages long. And you wouldn’t have missed a thing!

Don’t confuse them with facts. They clearly really hate it.

Not done yet. Clear out the impediments. Especiallythe big ones.

President Trump on Friday evening demanded Fed Chairman Jerome Powell resign after the Federal Reserve Governor resigned.

““Too Late” Powell should resign, just like Adriana Kugler, a Biden Appointee, resigned. She knew he was doing the wrong thing on Interest Rates. He should resign, also!” Trump said on Truth Socia

Trump can’t stand the fact that he can’t bully the Fed Chair.

That’s part of it. His small minded pettiness won’t permit it.

The other thing is that he’s trying to set up Powell as a bogey man Trump can use to get his base to blame when the buzzards of the recession he is causing come home to roost. As they are beginning to do.

 

[struth]

That's what happened here. The adjustment to May and June down from the estimated good numbers previously reported....I believe?

Yeah you get stuff wrong that much you get fired

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Yes it is.

But that's exactly where we are heading.

Firing people for bearing bad news is bad management and leaves you vulnurable.

People who ignore reality get run over by it eventually. It would not be a first time for Trump.

You got run over by reality in November 2024 and still don’t know it.

President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, hours after a stunning government report showed that hiring had slowed down significantly over the past three months.

Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after the release of weak jobs report

Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

www.nbcnews.com

Taking to Truth Social, he attacked Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the BLS. He claimed that the country's jobs reports "are being produced by Biden appointee" and ordered his administration to terminate her.

"We need accurate Jobs Numbers," Trump wrote. "She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes."

It is NOT HIS fault over poor jobs numbers, it's a Biden appointee that lies. Never mind the facts, HE screwed up the economy, NOT Biden.

I can't help but wonder if biden had bad numbers and it was found out that the person responsible for those number was a trump appointee, would democrats be saying the same thing.

 

[TimFitz]

Actually we paid millions to stay home, crippled Trump's great economy overnight. Until Biden got elected, you forget the facts. Then people went back to work.

Trump’s serial mismanagement of the Covid crisis played a significant role.

Trump laid the plan out on how to do it. You loons soiled your diapers over it, and he caved to fauci. The worst decision he made as president. Cost a lot of lives.

Trump never laid out a plan. That is flagrantly false. He vacillated and fumed, and then announced that he would not take responsibility at all.

 

[g5000]

I can't help but wonder if biden had bad numbers and it was found out that the person responsible for those number was a trump appointee, would democrats be saying the same thing.

Of course you can't help it. Of course.

Sadly for you, the calculations are made the same way every time, even if there is a vindictive orange titty baby in office with the temperament of a three year old.

There is no standard measuring stick....
They use fuzzy math to make the determinations.
I would not be surprised at all if Trump is exactly correct about his accusation.
