Hassett Admits Donald Wants His Own People Cooking Jobs Report Data

White House Economic Adviser Kevin Hassett couldn't offer any evidence that the Bureau of Statistics was involved in any nefarious actions with their jobs reports and admitted Trump just wants to put his own people in.

After the BLS issued the worst jobs report for years for July, Trump, in a fit of rage immediately fired Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Making Trump's economy look even worse, the Bureau revised their jobs report for the last two months showing Demented Donald added 258,000 fewer jobs than initially reported.

Earlier in the interview, Hassett tried to claim the BLS numbers were propaganda, which is absurd.

WELKER: So is the president prepared to fire anyone who reports data that he disagrees with?

HASSETT: No, absolutely not. The president wants his own people there, so that when we see the numbers, they're more transparent and more reliable.

The real reason for the firing is for Trump to control the Bureau of Labor Statistics with his MAGA sycophants to attempt to skew them in his favor since his jobs growth and yo-yo tariffs are hurting the US economy badly.

HASSETT: And if there are big changes and big revisions, we expect more big revisions for the jobs data in September, for example, then we want to know why. We want people to explain it to us.
