President Trump on Friday evening nominated Brett Matsumoto as the next Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“For many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, under WEAK and STUPID people, has been FAILING American Businesses, Policymakers, and Families by releasing VERY inaccurate numbers,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“That is why I FIRED the former Commissioner, and am pleased to nominate the very talented Brett Matsumoto as the next Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Brett was a Supervisory Research Economist for the BLS, but is now serving as a Senior Economist on the Trump Council of Economic Advisers, like he did in my First Term,” Trump said.
“I am confident that Brett has the expertise to QUICKLY fix the long history of issues at the BLS on behalf of the American People. Brett Matsumoto is a Brilliant, Reputable, and Trusted Economist who will restore GREATNESS to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Congratulations Brett!” Trump added.
President Trump previously fired the Biden-appointed Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) after she ‘faked’ the jobs numbers before the 2024 election to try to boost Kamala Harris’s chances of a victory.
Last summer Dr. Erika McEntarfer was promptly fired after an abysmal July jobs report. The US only added 73,000 jobs in July and the previous months were all revised down.
Trump nominated conservative economist Dr. E.J. Antoni to replace McEntarfaer as the next Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner but he ultimately withdrew the nomination.
Dr. E.J. Antoni is a favorite guest on the Bannon War Room. E.J. Antoni is currently the Chief Economist and Richard Aster Fellow, in the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget.
Antoni’s work has been featured in a variety of news outlets, including Fox News and Fox Business, Wall Street Journal, Townhall, Bloomberg, Daily Caller, National Review, CNBC, Washington Times, Washington Examiner, Breitbart, The Federalist, and The War Room.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed the White House pulled Dr. Antoni’s nomination as head of BLS because he didn’t have the votes.
RINO Senators Collins and Murkowski did not meet with Antoni.
“We will be announcing a replacement nominee very soon,” Karoline Leavitt said.
