and who knows how reliable the numbers will be in the future after trump finds someone willing to manipulate data

I’ve been thinking about this and I can’t come to a solid answer. Did he fire them because he disagreed with the revaluation of the previous months or because of how bad they were off the previous months?

Trump is gonna have people in bread lines talking about “the HOTTEST economy in the World!”

We’re going to have to look toward companies’ own reported numbers, probably.

I think it’s neither - it’s that the numbers don’t say “the Trump economy is booming!” The fact that they came from a readjustment is just an easy excuse for him. Trump would not ever claim jobs numbers like the last three months

rereading your comment that might be what you mean by “disagreed with revaluation”. I first interpreted it to mean he disagreed with any adjustments to previous numbers

Yeah that’s what I meant. To break it down more my question was does he not think the numbers are right and he fired them or if he fired them because they can’t get an accurate number the first time and are incompetent, but you answered it. If you fire someone for the first reason it’s an idiot move but the second reason I understand.

yeah I think the fact that he isn’t treating the second set of numbers as more accurate shows it’s not the second one
