President Donald Trump is making good on his promise to drain the swamp, firing the previous Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner and nominating America First economist Brett Matsumoto to head the critical federal agency responsible for tracking employment and economic data.
The move comes as Trump continues his aggressive second-term housecleaning of federal agencies that spent years undermining American businesses and families with manipulated statistics and bureaucratic incompetence.
"For many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under WEAK and STUPID people, has been FAILING American Businesses, Policymakers, and Families," Trump declared, pulling no punches about the agency's disastrous track record under previous leadership.
Deep State Statistics Finally Getting the Boot
Matsumoto, a senior economist from the White House Council of Economic Advisers, represents exactly the kind of qualified, America First leadership our economic institutions desperately need. Unlike the swamp creatures who previously ran BLS into the ground, Matsumoto understands that accurate economic data serves the American people – not political narratives.
For too long, Americans have been fed cooked books and manipulated statistics designed to make failed administrations look successful while hiding the real struggles facing working families. Remember those "jobs reports" during the Biden regime that somehow never reflected what ordinary Americans were experiencing at the grocery store and gas pump?
"The American people deserve honest, transparent economic reporting that reflects reality, not political spin designed to prop up failing policies."
This nomination is part of Trump's broader effort to restore integrity to federal agencies that became weaponized against the American people. From the FBI to the IRS to agencies like BLS, the administrative state spent years serving political masters instead of constitutional principles.
Real Economic Data for Real Americans
Patriots should celebrate this long-overdue accountability. When our economic statistics are corrupted by partisan hacks, how can businesses make informed decisions? How can families plan for the future? How can policymakers craft effective solutions?
The answer is simple: they can't. That's exactly why the swamp preferred it that way.
With Matsumoto's nomination, Americans can finally expect economic reporting that serves truth over political convenience. It's just another example of why Trump's return to the White House represents a genuine restoration of government accountability.
