Kevin Breuninger reveals that Donald Trump is urging the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates after an April jobs report showed 177,000 new jobs, exceeding expectations. On Truth Social, Trump claimed consumers are seeking lower prices, declaring "NO INFLATION." This shift reflects a softened stance toward Jerome Powell, whom he no longer intends to fire.

It’s hard to imagine that anyone is taking a #trump jobs report seriously, let alone writing a glowing headline about it! #wapo has lost any credibility.

In an authoritarian regime like trump, all damaging information is buried or altered, making trump’s stats on any topic automatically suspect.

In addition, trump’s #doge coven have exhibited their willingness to “alter” numbers to try to polish the turd that is their disastrous rape of our government.

The tick up in the #unemployment rate underscores the difficult hiring landscape facing recently laid off #FederalWorkers.

The average work week remained at 34.1 hours, matching the low from March of 2020 during the #pandemic. That’s an indication that #labor demand is weaker than the headline payroll jobs number suggests.

BE ON THE ALERT:

Tomorrow's #JobsReport for the month of February is expected to be terrible (the January report where #Biden was still Potus until Jan 20th) was one of the lowest in four years as #DonnieDumbass' policies dragged the numbers down. February's report will be after his first full month as president, and it is expected to be half of what it was in January.

SO NATURALLY, #DonTheCon's Administration is already preparing to fudge the numbers:

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)

“The February employment report is the first of the Trump administration. While we are not likely to pick up much of the effect of the DOGE cuts, we should see some impact. ... However, we are likely to see an effect on the hiring side. Many businesses have put hiring plans on hold, as they wait to see what DOGE will try to cut and what the courts will uphold.”
