Trump ordering removal of BLS commissioner because of weak jobs report. 1/ She was a senior Census Dept economist during Trump's first term. 2/ This sets a very dangerous precedent, since it basically gives marching orders to future BLS commissioners. No one should want this.

If we want to have a conversation about the data collection methods ... well, economists have been having those for quite some time. Under multiple admins. But that's not what Trump is calling for here.
