Trump Can’t Wave Away Economic Reality

From a Wall Street Journal editorial:

“What does Mr. Trump plan to do if next month’s jobs numbers are meh or worse? Order the BLS to change them? Democrats are sure to accuse his administration of suppressing unfavorable economic data in any case. After Ms. McEntarfer’s defenestration, the president’s advisers may be even more reluctant to bear bad economic news lest he say off with their heads too.”

“Mr. Trump does himself and his party no favors by waving away economic reality. Democrats spent the Biden presidency playing down inflation, and look where it got them.”
