Trump is the captain of the Titanic - if the captain of the Titanic purposely steered the ship into an iceberg at full speed.

America (and the world) is soooooo fucked.

Lol. Typical stupid fucking MAGAtard way.

When the BLS revised job creation numbers downward during the Biden administration, the Petulant Man-Baby and his MAGA sheep screamed that the original high estimates were “FAKE DATA” and “LIES”!

Now the Petulant Man-Baby and his MAGA sheep are screaming that the downward revision of originally higher numbers is “FAKE”.

What a pack of dipshits.

If Trump owned an NFL team that lost he would see to it that all the referees were fired before the next game.

Of course, owning an NFL team is one of the long, long list of things he's failed at: he tried to buy the then-Baltimore Colts in 1981. And in true Trump fashion, first he failed at it and then he lied about having ever tried in the first place. He did succeed in buying a USFL team, the New Jersey Generals, but you know how the USFL ended up.

To be fair, the reports made him look fat, stupid, and senile too.

Except in this case, changing the referees (the BLS commissioner) is actual going to MAKE the team LOSE: The markets / investors are not going to react / respond positively to this craven move.

Trust in government “numbers” is part of confident investing and credit ratings.

That trust is TOTALLY GONE, thanks to DonOld & the MAGAt republicans.

And the market responded accordingly. Things are down again, so much for tariffs and bringing jobs to America again.

Can’t be true! The great orange blob said inflation would drop. It hasn’t. Said prices on groceries would drop. They haven’t. That he would build jobs by dropping tariffs on other countries. Nope. Epstein files will be released. Still waiting. Save trillions of wasteful spending. Nyet. But hey. Winning!

That's because he's playing 27D chess (or is it 28D chess, I've lost count).
