Of course, seems in character with Trump thinking he's a king.

Not a king, a dictator, on day one - just like he told us he would be - before the election.

Fired for not being loyal enough to the Party. Hopefully the next one will do a better job cooking the books.

Heard of "don't shoot the messenger", but not a fan, presumably.

Anyone who watches futures knows the dump started before the numbers came out, when he announced that he was going to further fuck with tariffs.

you spot the problem? you are the problem

easy behavior.

The man has a very simple mind: nobody stopped him when he was (I would add "an ignored") teenager.

The good is that he proved how nowadays "democracy" works: ok, you are in charge, but you must obey "the circle": he did not, so the king is naked....

He is the living proof they cheated us.

Unwelcome news comrade, you are going to gulag!

Incredible that USA is now more similar to how Eastern Block has been working during cold war.

Guys, hiding crap under the ideological carpet will work for a while, but then your country will start rotting from the inside and everything will slowly cease to work. As it did in Eastern Block in 1980s

More recent examples would be Argentina, and before that, Greece under Syriza.

Very insightful short video for those who haven't taken a macroeconomics class before.

Trump's comments on the sacking....

"I was just informed that our country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfar, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the jobs numbers before the election to try and boost Kamala's chances of victory.

This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the jobs growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 presidential election, in August and September, by 112,000.

These were records – no one can be that wrong?"
