Trump Appoints MAGA Mythbuster to What Could Go Wrong Dept.
In a plot twist that excites econ buffs and chaos enthusiasts alike, Trump nominated Heritage Foundation economist E.J. Antoni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Antoni vows to make numbers 'HONEST and ACCURATE,' even if it means suspending monthly job reports for 'more accurate, though less timely, quarterly data.' Critics call his past work 'elementary errors' with a partisan bias. With a history of resilience like claiming the US was in recession since 2022 despite rebuttals, Antoni faces funding cuts and tanking survey responses. Trump insists the July jobs report was 'RIGGED,' so buckle up!
