In an astonishing economic turnaround, Donald Trump\u2019s Labor Department announced the addition of 30 million jobs to the American economy in its August labor market report, by far the largest single-month gain on record for U.S. non-farm payroll employment.<\/p>\n

The previous record was 1.4 million in August of 2020, an astounding 2,143% increase.<\/p>\n

Last month, Trump fired Erika McEntarfer, the former U.S. Commissioner of Labor Statistics, after the July report showed a paltry 73,000 jobs added to the U.S. economy, which Dr. McEntarfer oversaw in her capacity. Trump accused her of manipulating the numbers for \u201cpolitical purposes.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has not been heard or seen in public since.<\/p>\n

This also shatters the record for total jobs added by any presidential administration, completely overshadowing Bill Clinton\u2019s 23 million jobs over eight years, Joe Biden\u2019s 16 million jobs over four years, and Barack Obama\u2019s 11 million jobs over eight years.<\/p>\n

Thirty million is roughly the total population of Texas. In one month.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump is, um, truly the greatest economic genius in history,\u201d said a Labor Department economist from behind the podium in the White House Press Briefing Room, sweating profusely, occasionally stuttering during his remarks, while White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt glared at him from behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrankly, I\u2014uh\u2014never thought this was possible, and President Trump has accomplished something here that\u2019s beyond imagination. It is the greatest honor of my life to work for President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Leavitt loudly cleared her throat.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, uh, yes\u2014of course,\u201d said the Labor Department official, \u201cLest I forget: um, we have every reason to believe the September jobs report will show a similar increase. That would mean at least 60 million jobs added in just two months.\u201d<\/p>\n

He took a pause to shakily wipe sweat from his brow.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd those numbers are confirmed by all available data. President Trump has, um, officially eliminated unemployment. I was so thrilled last night that I took my wife and children\u2014whom I love very much\u2014out to dinner to celebrate. And I held them very close. And told them I loved them. I love them so much, and I hope President Trump knows how much they mean to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWrap it up, nerd,\u201d Ms. Leavitt appeared to mutter.<\/p>\n

\u201cY-yes, of course. That\u2019s all,\u201d said the economist. \u201cAny further questions can be directed to Ms. Leavitt.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then scurried out of the room, refusing to answer follow-up questions.<\/p>\n

With unemployment now officially a thing of the past, Ms. Leavitt announced her boss has moved on to a new goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump will solve hunger in our country by next month,\u201d she asserted, her gold cross necklace glittering. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe will eliminate all malnourished people within four weeks time.\u201d<\/p>\n
