Trump probably stumbled upon a politically brilliant move today, though not one I approve of.
He stated that George Floyd would be smiling down from heaven about the job numbers. The upshot of the controversy is that more people are hearing about the job numbers."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

From the lips of the POTUS himself...
So Trump would have us believe the BLS was rampantly fudging data, so rampant that the actual numbers were really as high as 30-40% (even I wouldn't take it that far), but that we're now supposed to believe a BLS miracle occurred that makes even less sense? Come on.

Part of the GOP stimulus package included loans for small businesses. To be eligible for one, the business had to guarantee that it'd use 75% of the loan to hire staff back (edit: this part may have been a concession to congressional Dems).
One of the caveats I've heard about this good jobs report is that the increase is due (in part?) to that 75% being spent on hiring. It remains to be seen whether businesses will need as many employees as they did before the pandemic (re. economy contraction), as well as whether the loans will actually help the businesses stay solvent. The next half year will tell us whether this jobs report represented permanent growth.

Aside from Maher (who actually doubled down on his remarks) as well as our own little jimmy defending him:
Originally posted by JimL View PostIn defense of Mr. Maher, the survival of democracy is more important to him than the temporary setback in an improving economy which improvement Trump had little to do with anyway.
you also have folks such as Paul Krugman, the economist for your precious New York Times, who has been pining for what he calls the "Trump Slump" among other things. This is the same clown who proclaimed that the stock market would "never" recover from its initial sell-off on news of a Trump victory and that Trump's election would immediately trigger a global recession.
And recently Rep. John Delaney (D - MD) chastised members in his own party for cheer leading for a financial collapse: PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN DELANEY SAYS 'SOME DEMOCRATS ARE CHEERING ON A RECESSION' TO 'STICK IT TO TRUMP'
ETA: I managed to omit that a long-time staffer for the left leaning, nakedly anti-Trump Atlantic magazine thought it necessary to caution readers to not root for a recession just because one would likely hurt Trump and a writer at New York magazine pondering the question of whether a recession is worth getting rid of Trump and concluding it would be a mixed bag:
