No. You refuse to accept the truth. The BLS jobs data to this point has been 100% honest. And yes I know that to be true. You can refuse to accept it all you like. You are wrong. It is quite frankly enormously offensive that people like you who don't understand how BLS works feel perfectly comfortable maligning the integrity of thousands of honest career civil servants just because of your hatred of Trump.

Nobody hates Trump more than I do, but I know how the Federal Statistical agencies work and know that Trump is incapable of manipulating most government statistics without being called out on it by pretty much every economist in the world.
