***** “Why sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” [Alice in Wonderland]
Nothing illustrates the. STUPIDITY, CRUELTY, CORRUPTION, CRAZINESS, INCOMPETENCE of the Trump DICTATORSHIP than the recent firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics leader. No fact-based, competent. administration would be this stupid and incompetent. Dear people; America is very quickly becoming a kleptocratic “Banana Republic.” Right before your eyes.
Consider REAL. WORLD. FACTS – as reported in these three articles:
1] “Why the Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly revises jobs data” [Ben Casselman; New York Times; 8/10/25]
2] “In Trump we trust, at our own peril” [Edward Lotterman; St. Paul Pioneer Press; 8/10/25]
3]. “Numbers Don’t Lie. Can We Keep It That Way?” [Jeff Sommer; New York Times; 8/10/25]
***** “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.” [Alexandre Dumas]
A] “Why the Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly revises jobs data”
1] “To the economists and investors who obsessively scrutinize the employment numbers, revisions are normal – an inevitable if sometimes frustrating part of trying to measure a $30 trillion economy.”
2]. “Trump claimed without evidence that McEntarfer had “rigged” the numbers to hurt him politically.”
3]. “Economists across the political spectrum decried McEntarfer’s firing, and dismissed the notion that she would, or could, meddle with the monthly jobs figures.”
4]. “The challenges facing the agency, they added, long predated McEntarfer’s leadership and will be difficult for her successor to address without increased funding. Instead, the Trump administration has proposed further cuts to the agency’s budget.” [ Trump. stupidity, incompetence. illustrated, PROVED !!!!!!! ]
5] “The average revision during Trump’s first six months in office is almost identical to the average during the four years of the Biden administration.
B] “In Trump we trust, at our own peril” [Edward Lotterman; St. Paul Pioneer Press; 8/10/25]
1] “..President Donald Trump’s lying about the validity of the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s job numbers released and then firing its very capable commissioner.
2]. “..in great part because he and minions like Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic council, keep doubling down, the damage may be broader, longer-lasting, and perhaps irreversible. However, few voters or members of the Republican party seem to appreciate the gravity of what is happening.”
3] “Start with some simple facts and contradictions: 1. Trump wants lower interest rates, especially on politically critical ones like mortgages. 2. Trump wants to claim a booming economy with high employment and output….Therefore, Trump cannot have both 1 and 2 at the same time.”
4] “What is even more frustrating is that Trump is too obtuse to see how his lack of self-control is sabotaging his own goals
5] “..the crux of the problem: Trump says the trusted numbers can’t be trusted, so he creates a situation where everyone knows the numbers can’t be trusted.”
***** “Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.” [ Confucius ]
C]. “Numbers Don’t Lie. Can We Keep it that Way?” [Jeff Sommer; New York Times; 8/10/25]
1]. “Imagine living in a country where you can’t trust the government’s numbers. I don’t have to imagine it. I spent time in China and the Soviet Union in the 1980s….U.S. official data isn’t tainted like this, but it may be heading there. President Trump didn’t like the numbers he was seeing in the latest government jobs report. So he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics..”
2]. “THe furor over statistics comes at a critical moment for the economy. So much is changing that we need to know where the economy is heading. MNr. Trump has cast doubt on ther official data precisely when we need it most.”
3]. “If anyone tampered with the data, Ms. Groshen said, “we’d hear from whistleblowers, and employees would resign.” We’d know about it.”
4] “Rather accept that his own policies may have been responsible for the negative economic picture, the president attacked the bureau, saying the agency’s ‘numbers were RIGGED..”..”
5]. “In fact, a review by Bespoke Investment Group of the bureau’s jobs reports over several presidential election cycles since 1998 shows that it has been impartial.”
6] “There are reasons to be worried about data integrity beyond Mr. Trump’s assault on the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Science statistics have been vanishing from government websites…Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has disbanded expert advisory committees devoted to improving the quality of data on inflation, employment and gross domestic product. Funding of statistical agencies has been cut.” [Alice in Wonderland in action!!!!!!!!!!]
