FeaturesWhat did Trump do this morning: claiming the non-farm payroll data was fake and firing the head of the Labor Department, sending a nuclear submarine to approach relevant areas of Russia
According to Bijie.com, on August 2nd, following the release of the non-farm payroll data yesterday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics significantly revised downward its non-farm payroll figures for May and June. May's non-farm payroll figures were revised from 144,000 to 19,000, and June's non-farm payroll figures were revised from 147,000 to 14,000. After the revisions, the combined employment figures for May and June were 258,000 lower than before the revisions. U.S. President Trump issued a statement directly calling this a "scam against him": "In my opinion, today's jobs data was manipulated to embarrass Republicans and me - just like the 2024 presidential election, where they first produced three days of good data, and then on November 15, 2024, right after the election, they revised it significantly downward - a complete scam." Trump subsequently ordered the dismissal of Erika McEntarfer, the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Her deputy, William Wiatrowski, will serve as acting director. In addition, Trump said early this morning: "Based on the extremely provocative remarks of former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Council Medvedev, I have ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines to the corresponding area to prevent these stupid and inflammatory remarks from being more than just talk." He updated at 8 o'clock this morning that the nuclear submarine is closer to Russia.
