President Donald Trump just dropped a bombshell in the Oval Office.
Economist Steve Moore unveiled unpublished Census Bureau data, revealing the Biden administration inflated job growth by a staggering 1.5 million jobs over its final two years, Fox Business reported.
This revelation fueled Trump’s bold decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Erika McEntarfer.
Moore’s data exposed a massive gap in Biden’s economic narrative. The Biden team’s job numbers, hyped as a progressive triumph, were quietly revised downward after public attention faded. This sleight of hand reeks of the woke spin machine, prioritizing optics over truth.
Trump didn’t mince words, accusing McEntarfer of rigging job reports to prop up Democrats. He called the miscalculations among the worst in half a century. Such a claim demands scrutiny, but the timing of those revisions raises eyebrows.
“I was telling the president that he did the right thing calling for a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics,” Moore said, pointing to the 1.5 million job overcount. His analysis suggests deliberate manipulation, not mere incompetence. The progressive agenda thrives on polished numbers, but reality eventually bites.
Trump fired back, hinting at intent: “Might not have been an error.” He doubled down, insisting the inflated figures were no accident but a calculated move to mislead voters. The accusation is explosive, yet the lack of transparency from BLS lends it weight.
“If it was an error, that would be one thing. I don’t think it’s an error,” Trump added. His bluntness cuts through the bureaucratic fog, exposing what he sees as a betrayal of public trust.
Critics slammed Trump’s firing of McEntarfer as reckless. William Beach, a former BLS commissioner under Trump, called it “totally groundless” and warned it could erode trust in the agency’s data. But when numbers are manipulated, shouldn’t accountability follow?
A weaker-than-expected July jobs report already hinted at cracks in Biden’s economic boasts. Downward revisions to prior months’ data further confirmed the economy was limping, not sprinting. Yet, the progressive narrative clung to its inflated figures like a lifeline.
Moore’s Census data dive didn’t stop at jobs. He showed that from January to June, median family income, adjusted for inflation, rose by $1,174—decent, but dwarfed by the $6,400 gain in 2020 under Trump. The contrast is stark, and the left’s silence on it deafening.
“You can see that—these dotted lines here, Mr. President, that’s COVID-19,” Moore explained, noting the pandemic’s impact on 2020 income numbers. Without that disruption, Trump’s gains would have been even larger. Biden’s measly $551 income bump looks like pocket change in comparison.
Moore drove the point home: “Mr. President, you gained ten times more income for the average family than Joe Biden.” His numbers paint a picture of Trump’s policies fueling real prosperity, not the hollow promises of progressive dogma. The data doesn’t lie, even if bureaucrats might.
The BLS, reached by Fox News Digital, offered no immediate response. Their silence speaks volumes, leaving questions about accountability unanswered. If the numbers were wrong, why not own it?
Trump’s move to fire McEntarfer has sparked a firestorm. Critics argue it undermines the BLS’s credibility, but what about the credibility lost when data is inflated? The real scandal is a system that lets such errors—or worse, manipulations—slide.
Moore’s presentation in the Oval Office wasn’t just a data dump; it was a wake-up call. The Biden administration’s economic story, propped up by questionable figures, crumbled under scrutiny. Americans deserve better than cherry-picked stats.
Trump’s decision, while controversial, signals a demand for truth over narrative. The progressive playbook loves to spin success where none exists, but numbers don’t bend to ideology. This saga proves it’s time to drain the swamp of statistical deceit.
