then why didn't she do that for biden? Kinda sounds like an excuse not a fact.
You're expecting logical consistency in conspiracy theories? Seriously? There's a simple and compelling explanation as to why she sometimes published numbers bad for Biden and sometimes numbers that were good for him.

But I doubt if many Trump people are willing to accept the reality.

McEntarfer was discharged for falsifying job numbers before the 2024 election in an attempt to boost Kamala Harris' chances of victory.
Funny how she was overlooked for this treachery until she released a jobs report that wasn’t favorable to the Trump Administration, though.

The extremely biased sources? Anytime I bring up CNN I see Trump bad, Trump bad, Trump bad.
They provide links to the data and to Trump's claims. C'mon.

So what I'd have to do is investigate all of their endless claims against Trump to see how accurate/true they are.
That's how it's done, yes. They left you links. Use them.

Or that's what exposed it.

More likely it’s Trump projecting. He expects loyalty from anyone he hires, regardless if the position is non political in nature, therefore, she being hired by Biden ( for a non political position), means she remains loyal to Biden to the point she will put out false information just to make Trump look bad.

It's interesting how a certain group all repeat the same thing. In this case the choir all saying "he expects loyalty" even thought that makes no sense whatsoever. Because everyone expects loyalty. No one expects disloyalty. It's like saying Trump expects his staff members to have a pulse.

it's not biased to question the reasons and truthfulness of a guy who on a regular basis lies about stuff that is demonstrably known, can't keep wich lie he's telling straight, makes up figures, makes claims that are false and have to be refuted by others.

It's just reasonable, it's possible trump is right and had a good reason to fire her, but with trumps track record there is no reason to take it at his word. Plus it is not sure wich is worse, that he's corrupt or just like the James Comey firing if he's telling the trtuh he's too incompetent to realize how this makes him look corrupt. But then again we saw it with the pandemic, he cares more about looking good then actually being good.

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.
Which numbers, exactly, and where is the evidence, exactly?

Isn't it interesting that when the exact same happened under the Biden administration Trump claimed the numbers were to help Biden, and now it is to make Trump look bad. It appears that no matter what happens, Trump takes it as an affront against him.

You'd hope Trump would want honesty first.

Trumps brand of loyalty is loyalty to him, his whims, right or wrong, at the expense of truth.

As of early morning August 1st, Trump had stats in the area of GDP, inflation, & job numbers arguably in his favor. He has also been railing against high interest rates for weeks which he feels are an impediment to economic growth. Is he right about the interest rates?

All of a sudden, the job numbers tumble as they had before from the BLS. The previous discrepancies, Trump claims, aided his political enemies and were dished out more gradually in their economic policy favor until they could no longer be hidden. A similar theme with the previous administration like in withholding mental capacity of its president until it could no longer be suppressed. . Should he trust the BLS?

Trump always evil chorus will sing the usual scripted style, topically adjusted, evils of a rogue gangster in charge.
