Trump: The team has been instructed to immediately fire the labor chief, and Powell should also "retire"

On August 2, US President Donald Trump posted on social media: "I just learned that our country's employment data is being handled by Erika McEntarfer, a Biden appointee to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who falsified employment data before the election in an attempt to improve Harris's chances of winning. The Bureau overestimated job growth by about 818,000 in March 2024, and then by 112,000 in August and September, just before the 2024 presidential election. This is all a record - who could be so wrong? We need accurate employment data. < b > I have instructed my team to immediately fire this Biden appointee. Such important data must be fair and accurate, and cannot be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer says only 73,000 new jobs were created (shocking!), but more importantly, they also lowered 258,000 jobs. Something similar happened in the first half of this year, and it always adjusted in a negative direction. Although the Federal Reserve is playing tricks - this time on interest rates, which they slashed twice before the presidential election, hoping to get "Harris" elected, I guess - the economy is booming under "Trump". How does this work? < b > Powell should also "retire". "
