Trump Fires Official After Weak Jobs Report
Tap title to read story
President Trump fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer, after a weak jobs report showed economic stagnation. Trump claims the report was "rigged", while his administration initially tried to spin the data positively. His approval rating is at 38%, with dissatisfaction largely attributed to his handling of inflation and tariffs. Economic advisor Stephen Moore suggests halting new tariffs, citing their negative impact. The firing underscores Trump's tendency to suppress negative economic news and prioritize self-serving narratives.
