Trump Goon Delivers Bonkers Excuse for Grim Jobs Report

Trump’s top goon on the National Economic Council gave a desperate defense of Friday’s dreadful jobs report.

Kevin Hassett, the Trump-appointed director of the NEC, told Fox Business on Friday that the concerning December 2025 job report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics was actually not that bad, if you look at it the way he does.

“When you look at the [job] numbers and see that they’re below 100 [thousand], the below 100 thing isn’t as disturbing as it might be in the past,” Hassett told Varney & Co host Stuart Varney.
