The people at the BLS would be making noise if malfeasance was happening.

Trump is harming the economy severely, just takes longer than people realize for that to show up in the monthly numbers.

And keep in mind, these were bad numbers today, but not terrible as expected, but every month removed from the Biden economy we get, Trump will get more blame. If these numbers were terrible today, Trump and his media would have blamed Biden, that won't be so easy in the coming months.
