Foreign media reported today (August 2nd): "Trump fires the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, claiming employment data was forged. US President Trump fired the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), McNerney, after data showed that US job growth in July fell short of expectations, and the number of jobs added in the previous two months was significantly revised downward."
[Witty] Comment: If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raises the problem. Choosing to target the Bureau of Labor Statistics instead of focusing on the economy and employment. If the economy isn't doing well, then punish the person who didn't count the numbers properly. Trump's approach has also drawn a lot of mockery from American netizens. Americans are divided on whether the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a 'bad apple' and whether Trump is acting recklessly, showing the huge controversy this incident has sparked in American society. (The full text of Trump firing the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics is shown in Figure 2.)
