The labor market has slowed in a very serious way.
And two things are in this job report that are kind of gobsmacking.
So the first is how much they missed for the month of July, what they had hoped, right?
The estimate had been that they would add about 110, 115,000 jobs.
Instead it was 73,000.
That's a big miss, way lower than they were hoping.
But even worse, the biggest thing that happened is then they went back to June and May and they revised the number of jobs down by almost 250,000, which meant that in those two months when the Bureau of Labor Statistics came out with their jobs reports, they had wildly overestimated them.
Now, here's the thing we don't know.
We don't know why that happened.
Like, that is a mystery, but
they were putting a much more favorable sheen on the slowing economy and so people are looking at those job numbers from may and june and saying these are pretty good this is pretty steady you know good growth uh on track for what they were anticipating but no they've revised to them way down okay so if the labor market is slowing it is likely because of the tariffs because of inflation because of a bunch of policies of donald trump's own making the uncertainty around the tariffs
And so he's firing this person just for reporting the statistics accurately.
That's it.
That's what's happening.
For some of these folks who are deep on Epstein, you're going to have a hard time telling them there's not an elite global cabal.

They're much more likely to just be like, Trump is being controlled by the elite global cabal.

But if that's what they choose to believe, fine.
matched
I mean, not fine.

It's not great for so many people to be this steeped in conspiracy, but if it makes them lose faith.

in daddy Trump in King Trump, I'm for it because someone is lying.
