Donald Trump doesn’t like work Government Report July. So he fired the Labor Statistics Commissioner until 10 minutes ago, no one had heard of it.
Has the problem been solved?
OK, not exactly.
Erika McEntarfer, director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, did not unilaterally decide that the economy only added 73,000 jobs in July. This number is composed of hundreds of Labor Department Analystfollow established rules before reaching her level.

The president claims that it is “manipulated” without evidence – making him and the Republicans look bad – will not change the basic reality. This number is disappointing. That has not changed.
The same is true for the decline in 258,000 jobs in the past two months.
This is very common. It happened during the Biden administration, and in one case the lowered employment estimates were revised. This is a standard adjustment once more information is obtained.
But that’s how the economy is. Pouring Biden’s appointment won’t change that.

There may be a problem with the continual revisions, but it has been going on for years. McEntarfer should issue a more detailed statement.
The president undermines confidence in the reliability of the numbers we all rely on, with numerous media criticisms.
“I don’t agree with assaulting a commissioner. I don’t like that. Beating a statistician makes no sense. You don’t have a shooting messenger,” Kevin O’Leary, an investor in “Shake Tank”.
“The Commissioner didn’t do anything to collect numbers. The Commissioner didn’t see the numbers until Wednesday’s publication. By the time the Commissioner saw the numbers, they were all ready, they were all ready…
“When I was a commissioner, we did 500,000 revisions during the presidency. Trump’s first term“He told CNN.” Why do we do that? Since companies are created or businesses go bankrupt, we really don’t know about it in the year until we have really comprehensive calculations with all the businesses. ”

Of course, Democrats are hay. Biden’s Treasury Secretary and Fed head Janet Yellen said it involves the “Banana Republic.”
So once the president named his own individual, will the market and the public believe that future employment will be real? Or is it the book that was appointed to his advantage?
Trump’s case: “Last weeks (SIC) Job’s report was manipulated, just as numbers before the presidential election were manipulated. That’s why in both cases there were a large number of, record-breaking modifications in favor of radical left Democrats. These major adjustments were intended to cover up and cover up, while fake political figures, which were meant to make Republicans less successful.

According to Labor’s investigation of participating companies, millions of business decisions have been made based on the estimate that work numbers are fair and reasonable.
But let’s take a step back and look at some of the recent Trump actions.
The Office of Special Counsel is now investigating Jack Smith, who filed two criminal cases against Trump for violating the Hatch Act. This is the law that prohibits government officials from making public comments. But this is often overlooked: Trump just blows it up when Kellyanne Conway is accused of violating the bill and suggests being fired.
Former CIA director John Brennan and FBI Chief James Comey were under criminal investigation for allegedly politicized intelligence in 2016.

Trump also ordered a criminal investigation into Barack Obama during his 2016 operation and declared him guilty of “treason.”
I just remind you that John Durham, Trump’s special counsel in the first semester, investigated all this and made no charges against these people.
I know his papers have been explained recently, but Durham wrote:
A man funded by George Soros, “the best assessment for the office is the July 25 and July 27 emails,” Russian intelligence hacker Durham sued only three secondary officials.

Of course, Trump is very active, both prosecuting the media (winning $16 million settlements from ABC and CBS); Ivy League University (Columbia agreed to pay a $200 million fine); orders to investigate Miles Taylor, the first period cybersecurity officer (renamed Anonymous); orders federal agencies to connect with Wilmerhale (this is because Robert Mueller works there), and grants NPR and PBS.
Oh, did I mention that the current president also ordered an investigation into the pardon and other actions of Joe Biden to show that he had a mental barrier to accomplishing the job? The former president, who was treated for prostate cancer, saw the idea as “absurd”.

All of this puts the image of power in order to enable Trump to push the news agenda. But it also reveals that a president who is dissatisfied with his past is fully focused and determined to reach a score with his opponents he believes is unfair to target him.
That’s why Erika Mcentarfer suddenly lost his job.
