"No One Can Be That Wrong" - Trump Fires Labor Statistics Boss After "RIGGED" Jo

08-01-2025 • Zero Hedge

Update (1600ET): President Trump was not done yet and posted again calling today's jobs data "rigged"

In my opinion, today's Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad

— Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were "taken away" on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs

— A TOTAL SCAM.

Jerome "Too Late" Powell is no better!

But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT!

Remember, there's no such thing as a coincidence in DC.

A dismal jobs print (and dramatically weaker revisions)...

...have prompted the president to fire the woman who 'runs the numbers'... (via Truth Social)

This is the biggest negative revision to payrolls since the global financial crisis.

Crucially, it took place in an election year and was meant to pad the numbers, making the economy appear much stronger than it was https://t.co/WtjpNSaytR pic.twitter.com/EIHW5Ynjev
