Antoni added fuel to the fire surrounding his nomination on Tuesday when he told Fox News Digital he would likely not release more monthly jobs reports until the data issues are “corrected.”

    Yeah, if Trump wants lower interest rates inflated job number isn’t going to make that happen. But he’ll pick a new head of the fed in a bit over a year so I’m sure they lacky will lower rates to 0% regardless
