He didn't like the truth, so he fired her and will replace her with someone who tells him (and the country) what he wants to hear.

(CBS NEWS) U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer defended President Trump's decision to fire a key official responsible for employment reports, telling CBS News on Friday that Mr. Trump has "real concerns" about the accuracy of federal economic data.

Greer spoke to "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" hours after the monthly jobs report showed a hiring slowdown in July and revised down earlier reports for May and June. Mr. Trump reacted by firing Commissioner of Labor Statistics Erika McEntarfer, claiming — without evidence — Friday's jobs numbers were "RIGGED."

"You know, even last year during the campaign, there were enormous swings in the jobs numbers, and so it sounds to me like the president has real concerns," Greer told CBS News, adding that Mr. Trump's issues with government labor data extend beyond Friday's report.

"You want to be able to have somewhat reliable numbers. There are always revisions, but sometimes you see these revisions go in really extreme ways," said Greer.

He is utterly ridiculous.

When he does replace the Fed chair Powell (and his ego will do it) the consequences will be inescapable with investors.
