President Donald Trump continued his diatribe against the July jobs numbers on Monday in a social media post, repeating his accusation that the Bureau of Labor Statistics rigged the numbers.

Hours after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released employment data showing slow job growth for July and prior months, President Donald Trump fired the BLS commissioner, claiming the job numbers were "phony" and that the commissioner had "faked" other job figures to help Democrats.

President Trump on Monday took to social media to claim "Last week's Job's Report was RIGGED, just like the numbers prior to the Presidential Election were Rigged.'
