The real job numbers are likely much, much worse. Trump’s BLS shell gamed hundreds of thousands of 2025 job losses into 2024, when Biden was president, and there is no reason to believe the current numbers.

If Trump is willing to lie to kill people, how can we trust this administration about anything?
