Labor Statistics Will Now Be Meaningless Tripe

Owwrr Deer Leeedur is firing the Director of Labor Statistics in order to put someone in who will cook the books to order.

President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, hours after a stunning government report showed that hiring had slowed down significantly over the past three months.

Taking to Truth Social, he attacked Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the BLS. He claimed that the country's jobs reports "are being produced by Biden appointee" and ordered his administration to terminate her.

The politicization of economic data and potential interference with it by political appointees is something that's typically seen in nondemocratic countries like Russia, Venezuela or China.

And now here. Government statistics, at least those that the Sundowning Dictator can get his hands on, will be as valueless as those produced by Stalin's government.

    Donald Trump Jr. repeatedly claimed Joe Biden was trying to turn the U.S. into a banana republic. If Little Donnie ever falls out of favor with "my father" he might get hired at a movie theater as an experienced projectionist.
