The revised jobs report is highly suspicious and very convenient for Trump

[Sandy Shanks]

I am very suspicious of the revised jobs report, the number one reason being, Trump lies too much. He cannot be trusted.

The second reason being, it is far too convenient for Trump, almost as if he wrote it. Nine months of the report occurred during the Biden administration, and it is not pretty.

Trump virtually predicted this disastrous report following the weak July report.

CNN reports, "Trump and his administration spent the last month portraying recently dreadful jobs data as a “scam” and an organized vendetta against his presidency.

"Trump last month labeled the disappointing July jobs report as “rigged,” and fired Erika McEntarfer from her role as Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner."

In other words, in Trump's mind, a "rigged" jobs report, a "scam" is a distinct possibility.

"Employers added only 22,000 nonfarm jobs in August, far short of Wall Street analyst forecasts of 80,000, while the nation's unemployment rate rose to 4.3% — the highest level since October of 2021," CBS, Sept. 5.

The BLS belongs to Trump now. Trump nominated E.J. Antoni, an economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"The move has raised concerns about the credibility of economic data going forward," CNN.

The Times reports, "The U.S. economy probably added close to a million fewer jobs in 2024 and early 2025 than previously reported, the latest sign that the labor market, until recently a bright spot in the economy, may be weaker than it initially appeared."

Put a different way, Trump is no longer responsible for the economy, according to the jobs report from his BLS.

"The revised data was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of a longstanding annual process known as benchmarking. But the big downward adjustment comes at an awkward moment for the agency, just weeks after President Trump fired its top official following a separate set of negative revisions last month," Times.

You realize, I hope, that ten months the twelve months of data came from the Biden administration.

Ultimately it won't matter what Trump wants or tries to do. He, with help from the MSM, have trained the public that *everything* that happens on a potus' watch belongs to them. No nuance. no conversation. If Trump and the GOP think they're gonna blame a bad economy on Joe Biden, they're welcome to do that. I think it's a great strategy, and its bound to yield a huge midterms for them.

The problem for Trump is there is still the downward decline that's picking up steam as a result of his "policy" decisions, specifically those around trade.

‘Behind the curve’: Pressure mounts for Fed rate cuts after massive employment revision​

New numbers released by the Labor Department could boost Trump's argument for lower borrowing costs.

According to Trump's BLS.

Trump's BLS with his chosen commissioner submitted this report.

n other words, in Trump's mind, a "rigged" jobs report, a "scam" is a distinct possibility.

Unless the report by Trump's BLS is founds to be false, or their is a general consensus that it is false.

Then the report can backfire on Trump.

Another convenient aspect for Trump from the report submitted by Trump's BLS.

The BLS belongs to Trump now. Trump nominated E.J. Antoni, an economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

"The move has raised concerns about the credibility of economic data going forward,"

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is going on here.

In the meantime the devastating report has fallen off the news cycle almost as if the media knows the report is a fake, and they don't want to embarrass the President.

Once again the media is protecting the President. This should be shouted out on all major networks. That is not happening. I found this article by accident.

Is the President lying to us?

NBC reports, "The Labor Department has announced an inquiry into the Bureau of Labor Statistics over recent changes to its data practices.

"In a letter published Wednesday, the office of the inspector general for the Labor Department cited the BLS' recent decision to reduce data collection activities for two key inflation reports, as well as the large downward revision in employment estimates it announced Tuesday. It said it is reviewing the "challenges" the agency has faced "in collecting and reporting closely watched economic data."

"The probe comes one month after President Donald Trump fired the head of the BLS as part of a broader pressure campaign that critics say has risked politicizing a part of the government that has long played a crucial role in the business world. The BLS, which is tasked with collecting data on economic indicators such as jobs and inflation, had generally been left alone by previous administrations.

But Trump began zeroing in on the BLS as his frustrations with the Federal Reserve mounted, coinciding with economic numbers that started to warn about a broader U.S. slowdown.

CNN reports, "The cost of living continues to increase for Americans at a time when the job market appears to be on shakier footing, creating a complicated economic problem that could be tricky to solve.

"Consumer prices rose 0.4% in August, driving the annual inflation rate to 2.9%, the highest since January, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Thursday. The reading marked an acceleration from the 2.7% increase seen in July, with price hikes driving up the cost of Americans’ most basic needs.

"Grocery and fuel prices shot higher in August after falling the month before. Food at home prices rose 0.6% — the highest monthly jump in nearly three years — and gas prices climbed by 1.9% after falling 2.2% the month before.

"The latest Consumer Price Index provided further evidence that some costs from President Donald Trump’s policies, such as sweeping immigration reform and steep tariffs, are slowly being passed along to consumers, economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, told CNN on Thursday."

Yep, that's the decline I was referring to.
