This doesn't negate Trump's concerns. It's not that adjustments were made, it's the timing of them and the scale of them that tends to suggest a political motivation. You can not like the numbers simply because they are inaccurate.
I'm in no position to make that judgement and neither are you.
But given the level of hatred of Trump and the lengths the Dems will go to attempt to discredit Trump we've seen so far, it's not hard to believe that this is just another example of the abuse of political power to take out an opponent.
- BrawnyBadger53 1y agoThis inaccuracy to revision cycle has been consistent for as long as I can remember. Everyone whose job it is to look at these numbers should understand that the initial numbers are typically overestimated.
- lazyeye 1y agoI can only repeat my previous comment....
- blackqueeriroh 1y agoYes, you can repeat your previous comment, but the data supports that this is nothing new.
- lazyeye 1y agoThe fact that adjustments have happened in the past in no way disproves the idea that recent estimates/adjustments may have been made in support of a political agenda.
- Daishiman 1y agoYou have suggested something without evidence. You have not put anything to argue or defend.
- lazyeye 1y agoNobody here has provided any evidence for anything they've stated either. Apparently after the recent election, the jobs numbers were adjusted down by close to 800k, (meaning of course, they had been inflated by 800k prior to the election). This would be the largest adjustment in 50 years (outside of covid). Discussed here https://youtube.com/shorts/Mcpom9jUNJE https://youtube.com/shorts/Mcpom9jUNJE
- Daishiman 1y agoThe evidence is clear as day that there's been a semester of back and forth in insane tariffs and fluctuations in the bond market that are introducing a level of self-induced uncertainty that trivially explains it.

- Daishiman 1y agoIt is much more easily explained by the fact that Trump surrounds himself with ignorant sycophants and fires anyone who disagrees with him as evidenced time and time again so unless you bring some real piece of evidence you'll be discarded as a trivial troll.
- lazyeye 1y agoI disagree. Given the lengths we've seen the Democrat party will go to, to take out a political opponent, fudging some jobs numbers is rather tame by comparison.
