Some key grafs:

Donald Trump’s disastrous governance has successfully tanked America’s labor market.

The federal government released another weak jobs report Friday, after the previous poor jobs report resulted in Trump lashing out and firing the Commissioner of Labor Statistics. At the time, Trump baselessly claimed that the “Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.”

The latest jobs report found that the economy only added 22,000 jobs in August, meaning there are more unemployed people than there are jobs....

For the time being, as the monthly job reports underscore a Trump economy that is far from the golden age that his 2024 campaign had vowed to immediately unleash, a top administration-wide priority on this matter appears to be just blaming others for the Trump’s economy, and hoping that enough of the American public buys it.

Trump is blaming BLS for accurately reporting the results of the Trump sh!tshow claiming it is publishing "fake: data to hurt him, and blaming Fed Chairman Powell for not cutting interest rates even as Trump's incompetence fuels inflation.
