Trump's tantrum shows Elizabeth Warren hit the president where it hurts
"After a rough July jobs report, Trump promptly fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, claiming without evidence that the data was “rigged” to hurt him. If his skin wasn’t thin enough already, he then had a meltdown in response to Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s remarks on CNBC’s "Squawk Box." Warren rightly called him out for failing to live up to his economic promises and raised concerns that he would install “some sycophant who’s going to give data that makes the president happy” as BLS commissioner. “Trump ran for office saying he’d lower costs on day one,” Warren told CNBC. “Cost of groceries are up, cost of housing is up, cost of health care is up. And where is Donald Trump?”
Trump’s response? A multipost rant in which he called Warren a “LOSER!” and demanded CNBC “Call her out!!!”
When the economy did not immediately collapse, Trump quickly declared victory — but it was short-lived.
Though the president consumes a lot of cable news, it is rare for an interview to provoke this much ire from him. But the truth hurts. Trump’s assault on independent government statistical agencies alone has far-reaching implications for the reliability of U.S. economic data. And the president faces another, more immediate problem: If he is planning to fire anyone who brings him bad economic news, he may soon run out of messengers to shoot."
