Last administration cooked the books on BLS numbers for nearly 2 years, issuing corrections and all that nobody paid attention to. They also redefined what a recession is during the last administration.

Trump is incompetent at best (a crony at worst), a bull in the legislative China shop, and revels in drawing attention to himself... so it shouldn't be too surprising people are on high alert during his tenure and news headlines get more attention.

Short answer, BLS data gets revised all the time and the supposedly smoking gun revision that was used to justify firing the BLS head was not even in the top 50 most extreme corrections. https://www.natesilver.net/p/trumps-jobs-data-denialism-wont...
