President Donald Trump on Friday fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed to a near-halt.
In a Truth Social post that also directed even more fire at Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Trump accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of being a political appointee who was manipulating jobs data.
“I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s [Harris’] chances of Victory,” Trump wrote.
“We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified,” he added.
Buy euros, euro-denominated bonds, short USD.
Not Euros, Euros will crash with the dollar. Buy something of real value, like commodities or real estate.
Really?
Yes, when a major economy crashes, it drags the sentiment down by a lot. Everything panic sells.
Europe is dependent on US for its economy in some ways, so a crash in US economy dents the Euro too.
On top of that, some major European countries are struggling right now, like Germany. Greece is also in a bad shape.
Real estate definitely gonna crash as well alongside the economy
Everything will crash as a panic knee jerk reaction but the real assets will recover much quicker.
