  2. Literally afraid of reality. How detached from reality do you have to be to believe Trump. Probably how people who pretend to be anti pedos voted for someone on the Epstein list.

  4. Hitler of America. Fire anyone who tell the truth.

  5. Someone please fucking do something!! We have a full blown dictator now and republicans in the senate and congress are twiddling their thumbs and telling Trump how amazing and smart he is.

  6. I wonder at which stage the economic data will become classified and anyone telling the truth about the economy will be crucified or sent to some hellish prison in a 3rd world country.

  11. Eventually, our economy will become a blackbox as no metric to judge it will be trusted.

    The dollar and trade will suffer because of shit like this.

  12. Susan Collins furrowed her brow, John Thune was unavailable for comment, Mike Johnson said nothing happened and that Trump was sent by God so it’s all good anyway (he didn’t clarify whether he was sent as a blessing or a punishment), and Karoline Levitt berated the media for asking any questions about it. ABC promptly paid the administration $12 million by way of apology.

    And meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell suddenly found herself moved to a much nicer prison because…reasons.

  15. It won’t be long until there’s no accurate data on the economy coming from the government. Independent economists will figure it out, but the government will lie.

    Ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.

  16. So, next month the jobs report is going to say that the US added 3,000,000,000 jobs, isn’t it?

  17. The job market has been weak for sometime. The great business man literally is destroying the economy.

    >
    Nonfarm payrolls were up by 73,000 last month, which was far less than the 100,000 economists were expecting. In addition, the Labor Department revised previous months downward, saying June job growth, which was previously reported at 147,000, was actually just 14,000. May’s count was also changed from 125,000 to 19,000.

  18. Any data controlled by the Executive Branch will now be suspect. No one believes data from China for this reason. Wall St will now look to independent data that they will control, leaving the public to guess how far off the government data is, leaving retail farther behind.

  20. Fired for doing their job and telling the truth. Interesting

  21. I will never forgive Trump supporters, they enabled a maniac all the same if white supremacy!!

  22. This should scare Wall Street more than the what is in the reports.

    I cannot understand how the business and finance world is STILL not in full panic. This guys is a complete moron.

  24. The US has already moved to MAGA science, so MAGA math is the next step.

  25. He’s going to now hire some bootlicking podcaster with zero experience instead.

  26. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

  27. The books are already cooked and now with this insane firing they will cooked the books to the same level as China, maybe even worse.

    Puts on everything short term.

    Rate cuts coming for sure but It’ll also officially kick off the recession.

    Expect everyone to run to gold, and funny enough housing once the market starts to go.

  28. I said it two month ago. Its sad and scary we can not believe a single word that comes out of ANY department. We let our entire system get corrupted in less than 6 months.

  29. It would be hilarious is the fired jobs number guy reduced the jobs number a second time by 1 after he got fired.

  30. Inflation is up so we stopped measuring prices, jobs are being lost so we stopped the person counting jobs, virus cases were exploding so we stopped testing….seeing a common thread here somewhere… the stock market was falling so we will ban the indexes next… thank you for your attention, keep working, stop thinking….

  31. Does he not understand that doing this automatically means no one will trust the government data next month? Is he so delusional he thinks he can control the narrative to this extent?

    Oh right, narcissist. He genuinely thinks everyone is like him so jobless numbers are always fake. So it’s the same fraud guys! No one’s honest because I am not honest. PROJECTION!

  33. This man is such a scumbag, and so is everyone who voted for him. 

  34. In related news, they finally released the Epstein files.

  35. This same woman leading this agency revised Biden’s jobs numbers down many times, as is standard practice. They are typically overestimated initially.

    Fired for doing her job

  36. Republicans can stop this whenever they want. They are choosing not to.

  37. Coming soon the dollar as worthless as the ruble

  38. For the first time in my life, when looking for various economic, climate, crime, or health data online this year, I actually pause thinking “oh this is a federal website, so the data is probably not trustworthy.” It’s a real shame. 

  39. This country is a fucking joke. This is a dictatorship. “Lie and makeup numbers that make me look good or lose your job.”

  40. Wait until he gets his hands on the Federal Reserve. Jerome Powell is the only thing standing between a shitty economy, and the destruction of the US economy, devaluation US currency and the bankruptcy of America. Don’t forget, this guy bankrupted 2 casinos.
