The Bureau of Labor Statistics is meant to be independent. Otherwise it can’t be a trusted source of information. Trump didn’t like that BLS revised downward its jobs reports for April & May. So he charged that the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, “rigged” the data “to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.” Then he fired her - presumably to be replaced with someone whose data he will approve of. How can we trust data when the person in charge has to come up with data to DJT’s liking in order to keep the job? When he doesn’t like the message he shoots the messenger.
