The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has gone from horrible to hell on earth. Over 60K people have been killed, mostly women & children.
The Netanyahu government must allow the UN-led aid distribution system to resume. Children are starving, and we are on the brink of a full-blown famine:
Trump thinks shooting the messenger will change the weak jobs numbers that came out today. It won't.
He should stop fueling economic chaos rather than attempt to cover up the harm he is causing.
Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."
