So under Biden Fizznews believed the inflation numbers but under Trump they maybe possibly can’t be trusted.
Facts, who needs them anymore. Just make up your own to fit your particular bubble.
Can’t look at BLS numbers now because when they’re bad Trump just fires the guy for making him look bad. Be ready for unemployment to fall by 1500% thanks the math flunky in chief.
Must be awfully convenient for MAGA that they already rejected factual data from the get go so when Trump blatantly fudges the numbers they either won’t care or will blame Democrats.
Trump is a Glory Hog, taking credit for when there’s good news and a Blameshifter, shifting blame to Obama or Biden, when there’s bad news.
Trump Pottery-Barn’d the economy with his import taxes. He broke the economy. He owns it. There’s talk that we may be heading to a stagflation. That hasn’t happened since the 70’s with Nixon, Ford, and Carter. The Federal Reserve doesn’t have anything in their toolbox to fight stagflation. They have tools for a Trump-cession or Trump-elation.
I’ve watched reports from former politicians. They say that the civil servants compiling the data are technocrats and apolitical.
The data can be trusted as long as Trump doesn’t put his finger on the scale. The difference between Trump 1.0 cabinet is that basically, most had knowledge of their agency, with the exception of Carson. Trump 2.0 cabinet is composed of sycophants, simply “yes-men”. The cabinet reminds me of the “The Three Stooges .
They have to start every meeting with each Cabinet Member giving a 2-minute monologue on how great Donald Trump is and how they are grateful they are to be part of his wonderfulness.
