Bloomberg: Trump leaks market moving job figures

[Winehole23]

Trump posted confidential market moving official information on social media

Paywalled, but the headline is newsworthy all by itself. I'll pull a quote when I find nonpaywalled coverage

By leaking Trump is flexing his impunity for sure, but I think maybe his brains are starting to get leaky and run out of his head

one reason people receive the MCAS is for doctors to assess ongoing neurological diagnoses, for example with stroke victims

Trump by his own admission has received three MCAS in the last year, acing them all.

President Donald Trump posted a chart on social media (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115862513677602476) Thursday evening that included figures in the yet-to-be released December employment report.


The chart, which showed the private sector added 654,000 jobs “since January,” matched figures that were not publicly published until 8:30 a.m. in Washington on Friday. It was posted on Truth Social about 12 hours before the data was set to be released.

The president and his economic team are typically briefed on the jobs report the day before the numbers are published. No one from the administration is allowed to comment on the figures until they’ve been out for 30 minutes (https://www.bls.gov/bls/statistical-policy-directive-3.pdf) to allow the public time to process the policy-neutral statistics before the executive branch weighs in with its interpretation.

Although the post did not disclose the specific payrolls figure for December, it could have hinted to investors the direction of the report. Market watchers were circulating the president’s post on social media following the publication of the numbers, noting that he appeared to share data early.
