> Trump didn't fire the BLS head because the numbers were bad

Yes, in fact, he did.

> he fired them because the BLS has been cooking those numbers for 35 years or more!

He fired them because the numbers were bad. He also publicly stated what he described as his “opinion” that the reason that the numbers were bad was that they were “rigged” for partisan reasons, but he has provided no evidence that that ever occurred, and I have no idea where the 35 years claim comes from.
