WASHINGTON, D.C. — On the heels of a shockingly weak jobs report this morning revealing that the United States only added 73,000 jobs in June, on top of previous months’ numbers being revised steeply down, Donald Trump, rather than change his asinine economic philosophy that’s jacking up prices on everything and making the American people a nervous wreck, decided to fire the messenger and sacked Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer.
In response, Defend America Action Senior Spokesperson Rodericka Applewhaite released the following statement:
“Donald Trump’s economy is flailing, and in response he’s acting like the petty dictator he is and firing Commissioner McEntarfer because she wouldn’t cook the books to back up his failed agenda. Instead of sacking the messenger, Trump should remove his idiotic tariffs that are crashing the market, emptying out Americans’ saving accounts, and making everybody miserable. Installing some toady to rig economic reports and jobs numbers isn’t going to fool anybody – in six months, after his approval rating has completely cratered, Trump has somehow still not learned that you can’t lie to the American people about their wallets and the damage he’s doing to our economy.”
