Trump fires Labor Statistics Bureau Director: A necessary choice to find a scapegoat

The nonfarm payroll data released last Friday showed that US employment growth has almost stagnated over the past three months. After the data was released, Trump immediately dismissed the Bureau of Labor Statistics Director Erika McEntarfer. Analysts say the fundamental reason for Trump's move is that the latest data has debunked his repeatedly proclaimed narrative of "America's resurrection from near-death state to the most dynamic economy in the world." At the beginning of the year, when faced with unfavorable data, he could still blame his predecessor: "This is all Biden's data," but after half a year in office, this excuse no longer holds. Finding a new scapegoat becomes an inevitable choice - is there a better target than Biden's old team?
