Trump firing Bureau of Labor Statistics Com'ner over the jobs report is like if the Red Sox fired the guy who flips the numbers on the Fenway scoreboard because they lost a game. share.google/E7LdTnbG8zH7...

tRump doesn't care if you have a job, or if you can afford to live if you have one. His tariffs are killing jobs and driving up the cost of living. And the real extent of the impact has yet to be felt.

Trump campaigning on releasing the Epstein files is like someone who gets pulled over by the police while driving & with a brave face says "sure officer, you can search my car" knowing full well there's 10 bags of cocaine in the trunk. That kind of bluff rarely pays off, as Trump is now learning.
