True. Good point. But there's the officially stated reason for for McEntarfer's dismissal vs spatulation of ulterior motives for her dismissal.
The only evidence that she did so is Trump's opinion, per his own statements.
Donald Trump fires person behind jobs numbers after they're revised down
The labor market slowed sharply over the past three months amid ongoing concerns over President Donald Trump's tariff policies.www.newsweek.com
McEntarfer was discharged for falsifying job numbers before the 2024 election in an attempt to boost Kamala Harris' chances of victory.
Nonetheless it's still the official reason. Perhaps McEntarfer should file a wrongful termination lawsuit.
And we always believe the official reason, even when there's absolutely nothing to support it, right?
No one claims that her firing was illegal. Just indicative of the further slide of the country into authoritarianism. An official delivers bad news on the economy? Make up a pretext and fire them so you can appoint someone who will say what you want to hear.
I'm sure Trump knows perfectly well that he doesn't have to give a reason for replacing someone on his staff. New administrations do that all the time.
By now, is there any human who still trusts Trump to tell the truth? But maybe this will give him a distraction from the Epstein papers, and what he and his pal Epstein were doing on that island.
And yet he did. One that does not align with reality. Do you have any thoughts on that, or are you content to lick the boot?
It's what Trump said. I would say the official reason is whatever is on her official termination letter.
Perhaps she should.
I forgot the timing on these numbers and fell in with the Trump always evil chorus initially. I actually believed when these numbers were released was proof that BLS was non partisan.Donald Trump fires person behind jobs numbers after they're revised down

The humor is that Trump is so ignorant of economics that he didn't realize this.
Rock and a hard place.
actually the official reason is she lied about the statistics now to make trump look bad, as his economy is actually booming.
According to what I read it was that McEntarfer falsified job numbers before the 2024 election in an attempt to boost Kamala Harris' chances of victory.
There’s one pretty active in this thread, unless you assume the other poster to be a bot or troll of some sort.
That's the official reason he gave for firing her. Although he didn't have to give any reason at all, except maybe to say he was dissatisfied. No need for him to make something up, which he's likely well aware of.
