President Trump fired Dr. Erica L. Mccarthy, the director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the U.S. Department of Labor, on the grounds that McCarthy was appointed during the previous president Obama's administration and was a Democrat who deliberately undermined him. Trump said, "In my view, today's (August 1 local time) employment data is artificially manipulated to make Republicans and me look bad."
On August 1 local time, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report stating that the United States added 73,000 jobs in July, far below market expectations. At the same time, the number of new jobs added in May was revised down sharply from 144,000 to 19,000, and the number of new jobs added in June was revised down sharply from 147,000 to 14,000. After the report was released, the U.S. stock market plummeted, and the market was bleak.
After seeing these situations, Trump was furious. He posted a long message on the "Real Social" platform to vent his anger and fired McCarthy. If he can't solve the problem, can't he at least fire someone? [tears of laughter]
After McCarthy was fired, the position of Director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics was temporarily assumed by Deputy Director William Viatrofsky until a new director is appointed.
Trump now blames everything and everyone but himself. Let him mess around, let him get angry every day, the United States will be lucky.
