Trump Taps UNQUALIFIED CRONY To Rig Econ Data
Trump’s New Labor Data Chief and the Erosion of Economic Credibility
Understand how the appointment of an ideological head to the Bureau of Labor Statistics threatens data objectivity and why observers see Trump shifting toward state capitalism guided by political whims.
Short Summary
- Trump nominated EJ Anthony, an ideological figure from the Heritage Foundation, to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
- This move destroys prior assumptions of political neutrality within key economic agencies.
- The discussion highlights growing US industrial policy trends that mirror aspects of Chinese economic control, straining market trust.
The hosts analyze the political impact of replacing the BLS chief and explore how this appointment—and related corporate demands—suggests a move towards state-directed economics, forcing financial markets to distrust official statistics.

Who remembers Saagar gushing at how merit based this administration is? lol 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
I think he's totally qualified to rig the data
Boy, Mr. Saagar Voted for This always seems to be gone when his boy trump is doing his best work at being a fool
Because cooking the books worked so well for Enron 🙄
Looks like Wall Street is in the FO stage of FAFO.
Next BLS report: Trump in his magnificent wisdom has created 8 million billion jobs with his bare hands. And he's also Batman.
The public may be, but the money is not stupid. The more partisan and political our economics infrastructure gets, the less our country will be a destination for investment.
How can anybody ever trust what comes from this administration? It is just so hard to believe anything, and therefore you have to conclude that everything is wrong or at least take it with a large pinch of salt.
"Who is willing to commit treason and other crimes and misdemeanors"? I am I am daddy. " your hired "
lets see how saagar can clean that one up
