The jobs report for January just came out this morning, and some Democrats are attacking President Trump for it because it’s so bad:
Pres Trump’s first Jobs Report is a WEAK one. Slowest start since 2016.

It really should go without saying, but Trump has only been president for not even a full three weeks yet. How could he ever be responsible for a bad jobs report that he had nothing to do with?
Alex Pfeiffer, Deputy Assistant to the President, responded to this nonsense by pointing out something even more obvious in the jobs report:
Darren isn't too bright.
I will try and use small words so he can understand.
The jobs report is as of Jan 12. That is when Biden was president. Donald Trump became President on January 20.

President Trump’s Rapid Response also responded to Darren:
Who was president in 2024, Darren? https://t.co/6f5EGnmwhI pic.twitter.com/UYuzQVRHyz

I guess we’ll have to say then that Rep. Darren Soto is the first Democrat Dumbass of President Trump’s term. Great job Darren winning the award!
