President Donald Trump says he “did the right thing” by having his team remove the head of the agency that produces the monthly jobs figures, after a weak report showed hiring slowed and was much weaker in April and May than previously reported. buff.ly/vHAq9u7

So, he fires someone for giving him statistics because he doesn't like the information? And people actually believe this guy is a good businessman?? A good business looks at the numbers and asks how to adjust the business to improve future numbers, not fire someone for making the president look bad.

Consistently states others are lying or wrong or corrupt … without any evidence or rationale. Also consistently lies himself, is wrong and always corrupt with mountains of evidence yet still has some following him blindly and others too scared to challenge. Midterms are the time to push back. VOTE

Next month, the jobs report will show 800 million employed Americans. Yes, I know there aren't anywhere near 800 million Americans, but brain dead MAGAs will believe it and that's all that matters./s

I refuse to let capitalism claim operating a successful business has anything to do with it. Capitalism is basically just the stock/investment systems that fund businesses to start. Then think they know what's best for the business. Investors have been ignoring data for a long time.
