Rick Santelli, 69, was hyped up for the Friday morning release of the February jobs report—then quickly soured as he read the numbers, which were worse than expected in a fresh blow to 79-year-old President Donald Trump’s struggling economic agenda.
“Yes, here we go! This is the big Feb. job job jobs report!” Santelli said on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “Non-farm payrolls: minus 92,000! Minus 92,000. That is a biggie!”....
“If we look at labor force participation? Wow! A big drop!” he said. “We were expecting 62.5; 62.0 would be the weakest—and I have to really go back on this—62.0 would equal December of ’21 to find a smaller number.”
