Friday night Tequila tweet: Fuck the only candidate for president in American history who lost an election and refused to concede. And fuck the only president in American history who fired a statistician bcuz he didn’t like the jobs numbers.

He’s the biggest sore loser in human history. Fuck him.

Trump: I was just informed that our Country's "Jobs Numbers" are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records - No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two

them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under "TRUMP" despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting "Kamala" elected - How did that work out? Jerome "Too Late" Powell should also be put "out to pasture." Thank you for your attention to this matter! O ReTruths 4 Likes 8/1/25, 11:09 AM

Trump says the bad jobs numbers out today are fake and from a Biden appointee.

Trotsky should also count.

Churchill and Caesar are the obvious ones. Disraeli wrote a political biography so also counts. More recently, Alan Sked was a co-founder of the UK Independence Party to promote the idea of leaving the EU. Though he has since disowned UKIP.

I’m happy for the employees for whom early retirement worked out; many left hoping their departure might forestall further cuts under reductions in force procedures.

What a loss though: 23 years of Forest Service wildlife conservation knowledge.
