This is a group of dedicated statisticians who follow a rigorous process. They will not be corrupted.

Unfortunately, what I predict is this, the jobs numbers will get too bad and Trump will fire most of them and replace them with idiots who will just make up numbers. We will hear about it in the media for about a month, but then the corporate media will just forget that happened and go on reporting these numbers like they're still meaningful; I can see the headlines now, "Trump economy creates 1 Million jobs for the 15th month in a row, unemployment falls to 0.0%!!!" In the meantime, the soup lines will be miles long everywhere.
