Trump’s new Leader of BLS didn’t or couldn’t sugar coat the truth for him.

There are dedicated and honest people who have been crunching these numbers for years and will resign en masse when they're asked to fake the numbers.

Trump's new BLS lead hasn't had time to do much yet, but perhaps they just decide to only give quarterly numbers going forward.

And I do believe they'll cook the numbers, we will know they are cooking them, but after a couple months, the corporate media will stop covering that these numbers are cooked and just report them as if they're legit.

And a lot of people don't understand why these numbers are so important. It's not just about how the economy is doing, but there are all sorts of safe guards built into our economy that get triggered by the BLS numbers.

Fred trump really did some damage to a poor young Donnie years ago.

He absolutely refuses to take any responsibility for any of his actions.

We are now living in country run by the dysfunction of the trump family.

And the damage will be enormous. When unemployment is really 10%, but the BLS reports 2% with 500,000 new jobs created every month, it will absolutely devastate working families.

And we're seriously looking at stagflation. This will be worse than Bush's 2008 disaster and it's all completely self inflicted. I've been screaming for 7 months how businesses cannot grow under this much uncertainty. And here we have it, layoffs are ongoing, hiring has slowed to nothing. And prices will start to rise even more soon too.

So next year, millions of families will be out of work which the BLS cooked numbers tell everyone everything is great so the triggers to protect working families in tough times never get tripped. Food banks will be empty. Unemployment benefits will be brief and small. Even your state government has triggers to help people that key off the BLS numbers.

Protect yourself and your family now. Save save save. Can food. Learn to cut expenses. Now is the time to act to protect yourself.

He is not yet able to do anything yet. Currently there is an "Acting" Commissioner (Bill Wiatrowski) who is a long-time BLS employee and has previously served as Acting commissioner a couple times. Bill is a very honest man and will not participate in falsifying data. It is possible Trump tries to fire Wiatrowski now but that remains to be seen. Such a move would be a disaster for Trump.

That is where i read this.

Which is true -- the BLS currently is currently led by an acting Commissioner who took the place of the one fired by Trump. But the acting Commissioner is not the person that Trump has nominated for the position and who hasn't yet been confirmed.

Somewhat vague and sloppy by CNN, but not inaccurate either.

and has been serving as Deputy Commissioner so he's not exactly "new" either.

In fact, they just published this article 2 days ago which implies he may be out before he ever even gets in.
