“Too Late Powell should resign, just like Adriana Kugler, a Biden Appointee, resigned. She knew he was doing the wrong thing on Interest Rates. He should resign, also!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post claims that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell should resign like Adriana Kugler, alleging that Kugler, a Biden appointee, left her position because she disagreed with Powell’s interest rate policies. While it is factually correct that Kugler was appointed by President Biden and has resigned, official statements and reputable reporting provide no evidence that her departure was…

“In my opinion, todays Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad — Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were taken away on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs — A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome Too Late Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post claims that job numbers were intentionally manipulated to damage Republican prospects and Donald Trump, specifically referencing an 818,000-job revision after the 2024 election. Extensive evidence shows that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) did announce a downward preliminary revision of 818,000 jobs, but this occurred on August 21, 2024—well before the November election. The final…
“I was just informed that our Countrys Jobs Numbers are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamalas chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they cant be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under TRUMP despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting Kamala elected – How did that work out? Jerome Too Late Powell should also be put out to pasture. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The TruthSocial post contains a mix of factual and misleading claims regarding the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Dr. Erika McEntarfer, and employment data. It is correct that Dr. McEntarfer was appointed BLS Commissioner by President Biden in January 2024, and that recent jobs numbers—including a July report showing 73,000 jobs added and a cumulative 258,000 downward revision…
“Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The claim asserts that former President Trump publicly ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines in response to provocative statements from ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Investigation into available sources reveals that while diplomatic tensions and hostile exchanges between Trump and Medvedev are well-documented, no credible major media outlets have verified the specific claim regarding Trump’s alleged military directive.…
