Trump defended his decision Friday, saying without evidence that the report’s numbers were “phony” and accused McEntarfer of releasing favorable jobs numbers before the election to give former Vice President Kamala Harris an edge.

Am I missing some context here because Kamala Harris isn't running for president and it's not an election year. This is really batshit crazy things to say but we are all just pretending he didn't say it?
