  1. America is fucked!

    Lol what is the source for these numbers

  2. Isn’t there only 350 million people in the US?
    Overestimated by 1.5 billion?
    GTFO

  5. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it” is often attributed to Adolf Hitler, though it’s more accurately described as a tactic used by him, as detailed in a psychological profile by Walter C. Langer for the U.S. Office of Strategic Services.

  6. Is that a bar graph with margins on the top? Either someone is too dumb to make a chart, or they felt that to “Trump it down” enough they had to show it like this?

  7. “When you can’t come up with an answer, blame Biden.”

  8. “New data that nobody has seen before” is a weird way of saying we just pulled the numbers out of our asses.

  10. Americans, sorry to say but you deserve your president.

  11. How do we know this guy’s a quack and that the numbers are fake? The previous BLS chief was off by *a lot*.

  12. America is literally a 3rd world country wrapped in a Gucci belt

  13. Total 🤡 show. He’s gonna single handily tank this whole economy.

  14. No one has ever seen.. ya cause you made that shit up

  15. I remember all the analysts that said Hillary was easily going to win . Analysts are like squirrels. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then. The sky is falling

  16. Christ, that’s such a hack job I don’t see how anyone can take it seriously

  17. Puppet show for his cult followers.

    Wake up! Wake up!
    When will we wake up from this nightmare

  18. “….that’s a gigantic error”

    He really loves to have his food pre chewed before he eats it.

  20. MAGAs are too stupid to realize what the chart is showing.

    I guarantee you their new talking point will be “1.5m fake Biden jobs just disappeared!!!!!!”

  22. Did you guys know that, since he was born, almost every single person and thing in the world is out to get Donald Trump? The Democrats, Hillary, Obama, Biden, Antifa, BLM, LGBTQ+, teachers, the Deep State, Ukraine, Zelenskyy, Covid, Fauci, hurricanes, Jewish space lasers, E Jean Carrol, immigrants, free and fair elections, Canada, the EU, the Constitution, statistics, his first cabinet, history, district court judges, woke…

    The guy born into millions of dollars, this billionaire, has been treated so unfairly his entire life. It’s been a real uphill slog, guys.

  23. Thanks a lot Trump supporters… this is your fault. You voted in this imbecile.

  24. The only thing looking higher is Trump’s weight.

  27. This makes me… So… Nervous… For whatever is really going on.

  28. This guy literally believes that most Americans are stupid enough to believe this BS. Stores closing, groceries still pricey, people still having a hard time finding work, federal government firing employees, cutting funding to programs everywhere and we are suppose to believe there is a job boom. Only people hiring is the Gestapo ICE team.

  31. How is this even allowed to happen? Trump just go please steal what you want just stop thinking your fooling us.

  34. It’s amazing the number of supposedly mature educated people are willing to be boot lickers at the first opportunity.
    I guess this is how it has always been

  35. All I know is this is somehow more proof we don’t live in a simulation. You can’t script this

  37. The data is gathered from employers. Sometimes it takes them more than two months to submit the form. All this graph shows is the amount of revisions. Very similar to the “Obama scandal“.

  39. He disbanded a panel of expert volunteers that was working with the BLS to improve the survey questions, methodology, and distribution. So they don’t care about improved data.

  40. The most incompetent administration imaginable isn’t as bad as what we have. If you made this into a movie I would say it’s over the top and unbelievable. Yet here we are…we turned into the land of stupid in just 6 short months.

  41. This is laughable. I’m curious how much he paid this person to lie and create his desired numbers.

  42. Fyi:

    You’re referring to a recent claim that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) overestimated job creation by 1.5 million jobs during President Biden’s term. Here’s what’s happening:

    On August 7, 2025, President Donald Trump and economist Stephen Moore presented a chart in the Oval Office claiming that the BLS had inflated job numbers by 1.5 million over Biden’s final two years. This was based on what they described as unpublished Census Bureau data .

    However, independent experts and fact-checkers have found no credible evidence to support that claim. The BLS, along with former commissioners and neutral analysts, emphasize that large revisions—both upward and downward—are a normal part of the statistical process. These revisions stem from delayed data reporting, statistical modeling, and seasonal adjustments, not from manipulation .

    Reporting revisions are routine: initial job reports are based on incomplete data and regularly updated as more information comes in. These changes are expected and reflect the BLS’s efforts to enhance accuracy, not bias or distortion .

    Bottom line:

    There is no independently verified support for the 1.5 million jobs overestimation claim. It appears to be a politically motivated allegation, unsubstantiated by publicly available data or reputable analysis.
