Despite slowing over the first half of the year, the U.S. economy has remained reasonably healthy. Yet when the jobs report for July was released on Friday, showing a substantial slowdown in hiring, President Trump lashed out, claiming the figures were rigged and firing the head of the government agency that produces them.

Dmitri Medvedev was once president of Russia but now is little more than the Kremlin’s favorite online troll. Yet when he got under Mr. Trump’s skin with provocative posts about nuclear war, Mr. Trump, already increasingly infuriated by President Vladimir V. Putin’s unwillingness to work with him to end the war in Ukraine, responded on Friday as if a real superpower conflict could be brewing, ordering submarines into position to guard against any threat.

Lashing out yes, because this bit*h anti Trumper, posts false labor data that may have influenced Powell to cut interest rates if she had reported the real numbers.

Nine years ago Trump squared off with these types. That is why he called them “Fake Media” and he has not let up. When he got knocked down, he got back up and squared off again, and again and again. The Republicans could and should start doing the same, instead of crying and whimpering in the corner saying “The Media is mean to me.”

That Ph.D. woman, either ideological or grossly incompetent. One of them is enough to fire her.

Any statistics class will teach you about upper and lower bounda of your estimates. No bound provides that much of deviation. Either wrong sampling design or bad modeling.
