Trump furious after uproar over job numbers firing: 'Rigged'

President Donald Trump scrambled to defend himself after firing Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) administrator Erika McEntarfer over a poor jobs report.

"Last weeks Job’s Report was RIGGED, just like the numbers prior to the Presidential Election were Rigged," Trump insisted Monday in a punctuation-challenged post on Truth Social. "That’s why, in both cases, there was massive, record setting revisions, in favor of the Radical Left Democrats."

"Those big adjustments were made to cover up, and level out, the FAKE political numbers that were CONCOCTED in order to make a great Republican Success look less stellar!!!" he added. "I will pick an exceptional replacement. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAGA!"
