Trump praised BLS jobs reports when they were favorable to his administration in April, May, and June 2025.

Question

Accepted Answer

Trump posted "GREAT JOBS NUMBERS" on Truth Social in May 2025 and cited April and May BLS reports as proof his economy was booming. When July's report showed only 73,000 jobs added, he immediately reversed, calling the same agency's data "rigged." This selective acceptance proves the attacks are about narrative control, not statistical integrity. The BLS methodology is identical regardless of what the numbers show. Career economists who produce the data didn't change. What changed is the result.
