Trump Amplifies Crowley Post Touting August Jobs Numbers as a Boom
Trump shares Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley's post claiming the August jobs report tripled expectations with 162,000 jobs added against a forecast of 55,000.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump amplified a post from a top administration official celebrating an August jobs report that she said tripled market expectations. Trump shared the message from Monica Crowley, the U.S. Chief of Protocol, framing the labor data as a signature economic win.
The post claimed the U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August against an expected 55,000, and that job figures for the prior two months rose by a revised 55,000. The message carried celebratory framing, with the words “HOT HOT HOT” and a headline reading “THE TRUMP JOBS BOOM.”
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “*THE TRUMP JOBS BOOM U.S. jobs report TRIPLES expectations, adding +162,000 jobs in August – expected was 55,000 And the last 2 months: jobs numbers were REVISED UP +55,000 HOT HOT HOT” on September 4, 2026 at 10:55 PM ET.
This is Trump’s 21st message released today, and the last post was moments ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 32 of his 631 posts over the last 30 days classified as Economy posts.
Crowley was sworn in as Chief of Protocol of the United States on May 30, 2025, according to colgate.edu. In that role she represents the administration at major events hosted by the country, including America’s 250th Birthday in 2026, the FIFA World Cup in 2026, and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028, according to colgate.edu. The State Department lists her as leading its Office of the Chief of Protocol since May 2025, according to legistorm.com.

Trump nominated Crowley as Ambassador, Assistant Secretary of State, and Chief of Protocol on December 4, 2024, according to presidency.ucsb.edu. His statement praised her earlier work as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Public Affairs during his first term, according to presidency.ucsb.edu. For that service she received the Alexander Hamilton Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Treasury Department, according to concordia.net.
Crowley was Trump’s initial pick for a senior communications post on the National Security Council in December 2016, but she stepped away in January 2017, saying she had decided to remain in New York to pursue other opportunities, according to ABC News. Her withdrawal followed scrutiny over reported instances of plagiarism in her 2012 book and her doctoral dissertation, according to abcnews.com.
The jobs figures cited in the post are claims made in the shared message and were not independently confirmed within the post itself. Crowley now represents the United States at ceremonial and diplomatic events rather than at the agencies that compile labor statistics.
