What did Donald Trump claim about the economy on 1 Aug 2025?
Donald Trump, President of the United States ·
Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were "taken away" on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs
Wrong timing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics published the 818,000 downward revision on August 21, 2024, more than two months before the election, not on November 15 after it.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics published its preliminary estimate of an 818,000 downward revision to March 2024 payroll employment on August 21, 2024, more than two months before the election, not on November 15 after it (BLS, 2024 Preliminary Benchmark Revision, Aug. 21, 2024).
