Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Friday that he had told his team to fire Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who was nominated by Joe Biden in 2023 and began her role in January 2024.
“I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” the president wrote.
“She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes,” Trump said, claiming without evidence that McEntarfer had massaged figures to help the former president.

New update, 42 trillion jobs added just today on that news!
Why I’m feeling he is just copying Chinese Communist Party.
That’s the idea.
I continue to wonder how people ever took this idiot seriously.
That’s easy. Only stupid people took this idiot seriously. The problem is that the US has too many idiots.
Well that, and the people who know he’ll accomplish their goals (lower taxes, persecuting minorities, destroying government institutions, etc.) backed him even knowing he’s an idiot.
You’re either to dumb to know what he was going to do or your rich enough to know exactly what he was going to do.
That’s the majority of people voting for him.
Probably too distracted by culture wars and other single issue pet peeves to pay attention to the whole picture. My coworker says he agrees with most of what Trump says but is extremist on others. I was like, it’s part and parcel what did you expect? A friend supported Trump for his non-interventionist foreign policy, which may be true on Trump’s first term, but not so much anymore on his second term. I haven’t spoken to him in a long time but I reckon he may be regretting supporting Trump.
What I notice about Trump supporters or those who sympathises with him, is that they don’t really talk about economics or how his bill guts major public investments and agencies, and give more tax cuts to the rich. It is more often on culture wars, or even Epstein files (not dismissing the Epstein files but the Republican economic policies will have more severe consequences to Americans in generations to come and should be talked about more).
A lot of people supporting an ideology or a politician is being in our own social bubble. In my social media feed, I see only anti-Trump content. For others, they see pro-Trump. We’ve became more polarised since the Second World War because of the advent of new modes of communications. In the 20th century, TV and radio were the social media that polarises the society Even if Trump did some good things (remember that he said Hitler did some good things, and yes, Hitler may well have) but the problem with demagogues is that they bait and switch. You can’t ignore the genocidal intent of the person simply because he or she gave you free healthcare.
Good news. I’m now working 5 jobs that just magically appeared. Time to fire more people telling the political false truth!!
