President Donald Trump on Friday fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed to a near-halt.
In a Truth Social post that also directed even more fire at Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of being a political appointee who was manipulating jobs data.
“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.
“We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified,” he added.
Next week: there were 134 million new jobs
Well they saved “258 million” people from fentanyl overdose in 100 days; finding half of them jobs in a week should be no problem.

2/3rds of Americans OD’d in 100 days?
Where the fuck was I, someone must have been handing out the good shit for free.
FTFY
I mean, it’s Trump. Do you really think he’d use a number that could be even remotely realistic? It has to be something truly stupid
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Fair, he did say he’d bring down the cost of drugs by 1000%. Chronic illnesses about to make BANK.
Woo-cough-hoo!
I was thinking about a number greater than the population of the US, but decided on a number that was equally impossible yet somehow believable by maga.
Doesn’t matter. If he says it, they’ll believe it.
Yeah, he would say, “1234 Billions New Jobs!”
Easier to remember.
12345 is even easier, it being the same as the combination on all of their luggage. :-P
