"China's nominal gross domestic product is unlikely to surpass that of the U.S. in the next few decades."

"This idea of China becoming the world's biggest economy may not happen, actually."

"China probably won't ever overtake the US economy on a sustained basis."

"The likelihood of the prediction that China's GDP will one day overtake that of the U.S. is declining."

"China is forecast to overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest economy by around 2035."

"China will overtake the US as the world's top economy in about 2035 with a high probability."

"[T]he size of China's economy in USD terms will overtake the US in 2028."

"China will overtake the United States to become the world's biggest economy in 2028."

Will China's GDP Overtake the US, And If So When?

"It's very unlikely that there would be more demand for the gold card than there is right now for the EB-5, to say nothing of enough for Trump's $50 trillion goal."

"The Gold Card initiative represents a bold and innovative approach to addressing the U.S. national debt."

"200,000 of these gold, green cards is $1 trillion to pay down our debt and that's why the President is doing it."

"1 million passes would raise $5 trillion chipping away at our debt."

"If we sell 10 million, which is possible ... that's $50 trillion. That means our debt is totally paid off, and we have $15 trillion above that."

Will Trump's $5M Gold Card Pay Off the US Debt?

U.S. President Donald Trump fired Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Erika McEntarfer on Friday following the release of the latest jobs report, which revised job gains from June and May downward by a combined 258,000 positions, saying, "We need accurate Jobs Numbers."

U.S. President Donald Trump fired Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Erika McEntarfer on Friday following the release of the latest jobs report, which revised job gains from June and May downward by a combined 258,000 positions, saying, "We need accurate Jobs Numbers."

The BLS' report said that the economy added 73,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in July — short of economists' expectations of approximately 100,000 to 115,000 new positions — and revised June's job gains to 14,000 and May's to 19,000 jobs. Trump said these revisions reflected "major mistakes made by them [the BLS]."

Trump said these revisions reflected "major mistakes made by them [the BLS]."

The report added that the healthcare sector led job growth in July, with 55,000 new positions added, accounting for approximately 75% of total job gains. In contrast, federal government employment declined by 12,000 jobs and is down 84,000 positions since January.

Manufacturing employment decreased by 11,000 jobs in July, marking the third consecutive month of losses in the sector, while average hourly earnings increased 0.3% monthly and 3.9% annually.

According to the report, the three-month average job growth now stands at approximately 35,000 positions per month, representing the weakest pace since the onset of the pandemic in 2020. All job growth is concentrated in the healthcare sector, while other sectors collectively lost positions.

Federal Reserve officials indicated that the employment data could influence September interest rate decisions, with market expectations for a rate cut increasing from 40% to approximately 75%-80% following the release of the jobs report.

The economy is undergoing a natural adjustment as Trump's policies take effect. Tariff uncertainty has temporarily slowed hiring as businesses adapt to new trade structures, but this reflects prudent corporate planning rather than fundamental weakness. The 3% GDP growth demonstrates underlying economic strength, and the reduction in federal employment aligns with efficiency goals.

“Absolute Blockbuster”: New GDP Report Shows Explosive Growth in Trump’s Economy

The labor market is showing clear signs of deterioration, with job growth at pandemic-era lows and massive downward revisions revealing previously hidden weaknesses. Tariff policies are creating economic uncertainty that's paralyzing business investment and hiring decisions. The statistical GDP boost from import drops masks weak domestic demand and declining business investment.

This dismissal reflects decisive leadership that demands accountability. Under Biden-appointed McEntarfer, the BLS has consistently revised data in a clear effort to manipulate political outcomes, as seen with the inflated jobs growth report ahead of last year's presidential election. Trump's decision will restore the credibility of national statistics, rebuilding public trust in economic data.

Trump’s decision to dismiss McEntarfer is a clear attempt to deflect responsibility following July's disastrous economic report. Economic revisions are routine, with the latest adjustments simply a result of standard delays in data collection — not evidence of incompetence or manipulation. This action undermines the integrity of a nonpartisan agency and establishes a troubling precedent: punishing inconvenient facts rather than addressing the underlying economic issues.
