Trump didn’t like the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (a crown jewel of economic data) revised downward its jobs reports for April and May.
Well, that’s too bad. Revisions in monthly jobs reports are nothing new. They’re made when the bureau gets more or better information over time, which it often does.
Trump rejects facts. He rejects truth. He doesn’t want the public to know what’s really happening.
