Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Friday that he had told his team to fire Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who was nominated by Joe Biden in 2023 and began her role in January 2024.
“I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” the president wrote.
“She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes,” Trump said, claiming without evidence that McEntarfer had massaged figures to help the former president.
Why I’m feeling he is just copying Chinese Communist Party.
The communist party is doing better by its people than Trump tbh. There’s human rights violations (allegedly - most of the reporting comes from Zenz unfortunately), but the average Chinese person is wealthier than 20 years ago.
That’s the idea.
