Job numbers? How needs him in a thug’s head? What an absolute moron and kook. At some point can we get an ADULT who is smart to run the country???
So what did the Pedo President do? He fired the jobs statistician. He thinks by firing her, the numbers will be better. He also believes if you tell everyone prices are going down , people will believe that despite paying 30 percent more for coffee and 12 percent more on…everything else.

Trump keeps saying he wants to fire the fed chair because he won’t lower interest rates, the he gets job numbers that give the Fed cause to do so and he fires the person in charge of those numbers. The only consistency is his furious unreality and commitment to destroying all trust in institutions.

Kristen Welker: President Trump himself was happy to accept the jobs numbers under McEntire's leadership when the numbers were good. She then shows the receipts excoriating Hassett!👇

The BLS did exactly what it's supposed to do: provide accurate, nonpartisan data. When the numbers showed Trump's "economic boom" was actually a bust (33k jobs vs claimed 291k), he fired the messenger. After all, when it rains too much, true leaders fire the meteorologists.

The numbers that were made up are *not* the numbers for jobs. The numbers that were made up were the willy-nilly, constantly fluctuating tariff numbers that drove those jobs numbers down.
