Summary

After the “gold standard” of federal economic data —the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics— issued revised job number for the Trump Economy showing a LOSS of 258,000 jobs for May and June and low job growth for July — factors the Federal Reserve was worried about to keep interest rates steady, Trump fired the nonpartisan lifetime government civil servant statistician and economist who reported the numbers, falsely claiming without any evidence that she “rigged” the numbers. Michael Popok reports that this scheme to undermine Federal economic data by Trump actually started in February when he closed the Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee and defunded the Bureau of Labor StAtistics. Americans United will keep fighting for freedom without favor - equality without exception.

48 hours ago, the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik declared out loud that this was now officially

0:04.4

the Trump economy. Trump owns the economy, Lutnik said. We can now call it Trumpinomics. And then came

0:11.3

the job numbers. And more importantly, came the Bureau of Labor Statistics who revised the job numbers

0:18.1

from May and June and July. And the bottom fell out of the Trump-owned

0:23.1

economy.

0:24.3

258,000 jobs, poof, disappeared from the statistics because they were fake numbers when Donald

0:30.8

Trump first pushed them.

0:32.4

So instead of whatever numbers he was touting in May and June, he only made 19,000 new jobs in June,

0:39.7

14,000 new jobs in May, and allegedly in July, 73,000 jobs.

0:45.7

But that's subject to revision. Well, Donald Trump didn't like that, because it indicates

0:49.5

exactly what the central banker, the Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell, has been saying all along

0:54.6

that job numbers are important to deciding whether rates should be cut, that inflation is important,

1:10.2

Because just, just two days after the Fed

1:13.5

decided to hold rates steady, we now know why. 258,000 jobs disappeared. Donald Trump's reaction,

1:20.8

fake news, fake numbers. Get rid of this Biden appointee. Okay, let's back up. And let's look at the person he just

1:30.1

fired because he didn't like the numbers. Fire the messenger. Erica McIntyrefer is a very

1:38.4

well-respected economist. She worked for the Biden administration. She worked for the Trump administration. She worked for the Obama administration. She worked for the Biden administration. She worked for the Trump administration. She worked for the

1:46.5

Obama administration. She worked in the U.S. Department, the Census Department or the Census Bureau.

1:52.3

She worked for the Census Bureau for Donald Trump. So to say she's a Biden appointee, I think, is a stretch.

Plus, when she was confirmed by the Senate, there's a novel idea.
