Any your proof?

 

You’re not known for telling the truth.

He is known for firing incompetent people.  Rightfully so.

 

Remember his famous slogan “You’re fired “.  There was a reason.

 

You must be on top of your game to work for Trump.

 

Biden, not so much.  He hired for DEI purposes.  Not for being qualified or competent.

 

BTW,  it’s a disgrace to see this specimen playing COSPLAY in an equivalent of a 4 Star Admiral's uniform.

 

Admiral William “Bull” Halsey would be rolling over in his grave.

 

 

 

“Bull” Halsey,  A REAL ADMIRAL!

Presumably, you think someone has gained control of the President's own TruthSocial account to discredit it.

Today, President Trump called into question the integrity of the Employment Situation report that the BLS released this morning. He accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of deliberately reporting false numbers to reflect poorly on this administration. This baseless, damaging claim undermines the valuable work and dedication of BLS staff who produce the reports each month. This escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence and integrity of the federal statistical system.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ranking Member Robert C. “Bobby” Scott (VA-03), House Committee on Education and Workforce released the following statement after President Trump announced the firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Commissioner Erika McEntarfer.

“The Bureau of Labor Statistics has always served as a nonpartisan, data-driven federal agency that provides key information vital to the United States economy.  President Trump’s firing of Commissioner Erika McEntarfer comes without evidence of any misconduct after BLS reported that the economy showed poor job growth for three consecutive months – a fact with which too many Americans are aware.

Donald Trump has sacked America’s top statistician after official data showed a sharp slowdown in the US jobs market.

The US President said he had directed his team to sack Erika McEntarfer “IMMEDIATELY” after a data release that suggested the US economy is performing much worse than thought.

America’s Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed to The Telegraph on Friday afternoon that the Commissioner of Labor Statistics has had her position terminated. Deputy Commissioner William Wiatrowski will now serve as Acting Commissioner.

The US created just 73,000 new jobs in July, far less than the 110,000 economists expected, while the figures for May and June were slashed by 258,000 combined.

In a post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said: “I was just informed that our Country’s ‘Jobs Numbers’ are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory.

“We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.”

Stock markets tumbled following the data. The S&P 500 plunged by 1.7pc, the Dow by 1.5pc and the Nasdaq by 2.3pc.

The unemployment rate rose to 4.2pc, up from 4.1pc the previous month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

 

 

 

 

Presumably you will issue a written and fullsome apology to the OP, since we are all big enough to admit a mistake, irrespective of your views on the sacking.

No apology then. It ain't the school playground. No one will think you are the Coward of the County, if you just stated "sorry, I was mistaken".

 

I couldn't careless about anyone's opinion of the firing, either way. No opinion was invited, but you accused a forum member of being a liar without any basis as far as I can see. That's crossed a line WRT forum rules.

Is that the same one that posted favorable job reports just about every month in the leadup to the election, only to quietly adjust them downward every time?  That one?

 

Good decision.  Should have been done on January 21.

I believe the particular person in question is a liar.  Not necessarily in this thread but in another.

 

He made a claim with out proof in this thread.

 

His past posts were instrumental in my assessment of his current post.

 

I’ll decide who I feel is a liar, not you.

Poor Trump.  Always the victim.  

 

Now, it's the BLS that's "rigging" the numbers to make him look bad.

Trump fires commissioner of labor statistics after weaker-than-expected jobs figures slam markets

 

President Donald Trump on Friday fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed to a near-halt.

“We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

The stunning move came the same day that the BLS reported a gain of just 73,000 nonfarm jobs in July, below market expectations.

The first half of your post was somewhat comprehendible .

 

I’m aware of VADM “Slew” McCain, his ADM son and Captain grandson.

 

Yes, ADM Halsey may have or may not have smacked around John for the comments.  Maybe not because of his RINO politics.

 

We’ll never know.

 

I could not decipher your second half of your post.  Perhaps someone that speaks “TUG” can.

I assume that her job performance was fine for six months.

The delusional/demented (in a medical sense) can never deal with people questoning their delusional realities -  usually react with anger.  Whether it Trump or that horrible toxic professor mentioned in a another topic who caused problems for someone's son.
