Don’t worry, Trump can just keep firing the people who make the statistics until he’s proven right :-/

  That has me shaking my head. He fired the BLS person claiming they were reporting inaccurate stats to make him look bad. A claim of partisan bias - could maybe be some truth to that. But to fire them and replace them? Then it will certainly be biased reporting. I suppose that makes sense if all you care about is image and not actually making things better.

    I question the president’s cognitive state if he openly stated there would be some “pain” and then when the statistics show he was correct, he attacks the BLA director and claims the economy is booming. The president and his defenders are playing us when they appear to want a growing economy. They don’t.

      Thankfully, the president doesn't need to be fully cognitive to be president, they just need to win an election every 4 years.

        What did JD Vance know about Trump’s health when he joined the campaign and why did he keep it from us?

    She had been doing crap job going back to Biden. I don't think she was fired for optics.

      She is presenting numbers. A bad job might be using black font on a black background not the numbers are not what I want or businesses are not answering surveys quick enough.

      "She had been doing crap job" with all due respect, citation needed.
