US president claimed without evidence that Erika McEntarfer had ‘faked’ employment figures in the run-up to last year’s election
Donald Trump has ordered the firing of the federal government official in charge of labor statistics, hours after data revealed that jobs growth had stalled this summer.
The US president claimed that Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of labor statistics, had “faked” employment figures in the run-up to last year’s election, in a bid to boost Kamala Harris’s chances of victory.
He produced no evidence for this claim, and insisted that the US economy was, in fact, “booming” on his watch.
Same strategy he deployed fighting covid - run from reality.
And climate change.
I’m detecting a pattern here…
This one is a big deal. This report is just the tip of the iceberg as we have only just begun to feel the pain of the federal layoffs (and don’t get me started on tarrifs). If he removes people from accurately reporting, we’re going to have a crashing economy with no metrics on what’s really going on.
Totally not a demented rapist.
So our economy is going to be based on incorrect info. Every lie incures a debt to the truth, and that debt will eventually come due. Things will crash. Its not even a question. I figure the last protection in place is Powell. Once he is replaced by a yes-man, its all done for. Before that happens I plan on pulling all my investments. My question is where is a safe place to put it at that point?
Assets. But, be careful with gold. It’s already up from the announcement. Make sure you diversify.
Not financial advice. I’m a fool.
He should fire off those Epstein files to be released.
