One of President Donald Trump's top economic advisers shrugged off Friday's jobs report, which was lower than expected, saying that they expect the numbers to be revised up and also pointing to other positive indicators they saw in the report.

White House Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett told reporters that "all the indicators that we're seeing are that inflation is low and economic growth is solid, income growth solid as well. So that the only part of the data that's disappointing is the jobs numbers have been a little bit lower over the last three or four months."

Hassett was pressed by reporters on why he expects the jobs numbers to be revised up.

"What I'm saying is that if you get the typical revision for August, which is about 60,000 then the jobs number would be about consistent with the other indicators that we're seeing," Hassett said.

President Donald Trump said in a post on social media on Friday that it looks like "we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China."

The post is accompanied by a photo of Chinese President Xi with Russian President Putin and Indian Prime Minister Modi together.

"May they have a long and prosperous future together!," Trump added in the post.

The post comes after Trump alleged that those nations, along with others at a recent summit, were there to "conspire" against the U.S.

Following reports that New York City Mayor Eric Adams was allegedly being offered a position in the Trump administration as an incentive to drop out of the mayoral race, President Donald Trump told reporters Thursday that he would like to see the race be "one-on-one."

The New York Times reported Wednesday that advisers to Trump have discussed giving incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, a position in the administration to clear the field and set up a head-to-head race between mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani and is now running as an independent.

The talks have also involved Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, the Times reported.

Adams' campaign denied to ABC News that he had spoken with Trump and said he was not offered or asked for a role in Trump's administration.

On Thursday, the president said “No” when asked if he’d urged any mayoral candidates to drop out, but went on to say he would like for it to be a head-to-head race.

"I would like to see two people drop out and have it be one-on-one. And I think that's a race that could be won," Trump said.

In mid-July, after the Democratic primary, Trump told reporters that Cuomo should remain in the race.
