Says if the fed doesn't lower the rates he will will put an embargo on trade with all countries we have a trade deficit.

So gee I wonder why anybody would be suspicious about the job numbers? ADP had bad numbers 2 days ago, todays are "blowout"(about the same Biden averaged monthly as POTUS). Trump then used the jobs announcement to demand the fed lower the rates, which is actually the opposite of what you do with strong jobs you usually hold the rate or raise it.

Trump said lower rates will be even better for the country than Tariffs and the fed must do this or he will enact an embargo.

Gee I wonder why stocks were down today
