Trump defends firing labor statistics chief after weak jobs report thehill.com/homenews/administration/5434438-trump-defends-firing-labor-statistics-chief/ Trump fired the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics because they reported employment numbers he didn't like. He basically shot the messenger. The BLS head doesn't just come up with the numbers on their own. She has a whole department of researchers and economists to come up with the best numbers they can in real time, while most of the data hasn't even come in, yet. But Trump thinks he knows better, and fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, claiming she deliberately "rigged" the numbers to make him look bad and make Kamala Harris look better. Meanwhile, Trump is confused at how percentages and prices work. Trump makes laughable claim about drug prices www.nj.com/politics/2025/07/trump-makes-laughable-claim-about-drug-pricesand-is-immediately-ridiculed.html On Tuesday, Trump claimed that he could lower drug prices by 1500%—a mathematically impossible number since it suggests drug companies would be paying the consumer to take the drug. Many critics immediately roasted the president on social media platform X, explaining that Trump’s math was not adding up.
“This is something that nobody else can do. We’re going to get the drug prices down, not 30 or 40%, which would be great, not 50 or 60,” Trump said on Tuesday. “No, we’re going to get them down 1000%, 600%, 500%, 1500%.” “Numbers that are not even thought to be achievable because I’ve used a certain talent that I have and convinced the drug companies that have no choice,” he added. |

Trump, without offering any evidence, insinuated the downward revisions were a politically motivated attack. He promptly told his team to fire Commissioner McEntarfer, much to the dismay of many economists. Her predecessor, Trump-appointee William Beach, called the decision "totally groundless." He also said it "sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau."
