Market insiders commented on Trump's dismissal of the Director of Labor Statistics: This is extremely unhealthy.

Trump fired the Labor Statistics Bureau chief due to dissatisfaction with the non-farm data. In response, Peter Mallouk, president of Creative Planning, commented that Trump's tweets initially seemed like a poor imitation, "It's unbelievable what we see. This is extremely unhealthy - you can't just fire experienced government officials because you're unhappy with the data."
