In reply to the discussion: U.S. creates 304,000 jobs in January, unemployment rises to 4% [View all]politicaljunkie41910
(3,335 posts)and working for DoD and the Federal Govt, I never believed it when people would question the jobs number each month. But I wouldn't put anything past the current administration. Trump used to claim that Obama was fixing the jobs numbers and unemployment rates each month, and I knew that wasn't true because 1) Obama wasn't responsible for providing that info, and 2) President Obama had too much integrity to be accused of fixing the number. Now Trump is a whole different story. I wouldn't trust anything he says, if his tongue came notarized. He lies about everything and neither he nor his cabinet members have any integrity IMO, outside the Intelligence Community because I worked with that community. He can make his cabinet members say anything as when they hold their "praise" meetings and heap praise on Trump, OR they're just willing to say anything to please him.
Now that doesn't include the Intelligence Community in general, though I don't personally trust Pompeo after his meeting with the Saudi's after they murdered Kashogee (pardon my spelling) in the Turkish Embassy. When Pompeo first went to meet with the Saudi's after his murder, Pompeo was smiling too much for me when he met with the Crown Prince who authorized the murder. I thought that there was nothing to smile about with Pompeo there to investigate a murder, but he just kept smiling all the while he was talking with the murderous Crown Prince. At that point, I concluded that he had no credibility to investigate the Royals. I know Pompeo's not a wealthy man and I concluded then that he was probably for sale too, just as the Trumps and Jared Kushner had sold their soul's to the Saudis. This is just my opinion.
