Last Sunday’s show was nauseating! The sycophants under Trump took turns on television, spitting out saliva, just to excuse their boss—why the hell did he fire that girl director Erica from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)? Damn! The reason was blunt and shameless: just because the employment data she released slapped Trump’s ‘golden age’ nonsense in the face!
Is it really that simple to change a director? He's directly reaching into the lifeblood of the American economy and stirring it up! Data credibility? This stuff is more precious than gold, built up over generations! And Trump, that old rascal, while he’s messing with the BLS, is also thinking about undermining the Fed's independence. Two-pronged attack, is he trying to strip the American economy down to its underwear for the whole world to see?
Look at that data, it’s so embarrassing it’s unwatchable! 73,000 new jobs in July? What’s even worse is that the data for the previous two months (May and June) was slashed by 258,000! This is the normal operation of the BLS, which aims for accuracy! But this real ‘bad news,’ when compared to Trump’s bluster about ‘the flames of prosperity,’ is utterly devastating! He couldn't save face, so what does he do? He doesn’t admit fault, doesn’t reflect, just swings the power stick and smashes! Who told you to speak the truth?
The guy in the White House managing the economy (Hassett) had the audacity to go on TV and say: ‘The president just wants to use his own people for data that’s ‘more transparent’ and ‘more reliable’!’ Pfft! This is the most shameless dark humor of the year! Those in power have the gall to say they want to ‘create’ a more reliable truth, when the truth is already dancing on its grave! And that trade guy Greer is even bolder: ‘The president is the president; he can use whoever he wants!’—Listen, this is just brazen ‘I am the law,’ professionalism? Bullshit! Power decides everything!
Former BLS director Mr. Pich was so angry he was trembling: ‘What the president is doing is tearing down the entire system!’ This statement is absolutely no exaggeration! If this independent statistical flood barrier is washed away by the dirty water of political interference, then all economic decision-making will immediately fall into the cesspool! Companies become blind, investors get lost in a maze of lies, and the Fed has to feel its way across the river, heart pounding! The fools in Argentina and Greece, didn’t they just use fake numbers to fool people, ultimately leading to their own collapse? The bloody lesson is right there, is Trump blind or just black-hearted?
What’s even scarier is that dealing with the BLS is just an appetizer for Trump! This summer, everything went smoothly for him, he won a few rounds, and he really got cocky, feeling like he’s the king of the world, and no rules apply to him!
The Constitution? Toilet paper! Those soft Republicans in Congress act like grandchildren in front of him, the golden rule of checks and balances against dictatorship set by our ancestors has long been ground into dust under his feet!
Truth? Custom-made! Universities are forced to take sides, law firms are too scared to speak up, and the media gets beaten down every day. Scientists and experts in the government who do research, as long as their conclusions don’t align with the ‘MAGA’ nonsense (like climate change is fake, vaccines are toxic), immediately pack up and leave! Remember the toxic milk he was spewing in 2018? ‘Remember, what you see and read isn’t real!’ Damn! It was a joke back then, but now it looks like he’s brainwashing the entire nation! From boasting about having the biggest inauguration crowd to farting ‘no tests, no cases,’ to shouting that the election was stolen... this old rascal Trump is just a professional factory producing ‘customized truths’!
Judiciary? House servants! Intelligence agencies have become tools for his rumors, concocting things like the ‘Russia scandal’ to frame Obama, while slapping on the label of ‘treason’! The Department of Justice? His private enforcers! In the Epstein scandal, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell just met with a senior DOJ official and then was moved to a five-star cell? The timing is too ‘convenient’ to stomach! Any judge who displeases him gets immediately labeled as ‘illegal’! That CNN reporter said this is ‘Orwellian rule,’ which is spot on!
Power? Completely insane! When the chaos erupted on Capitol Hill, he just said to release them! If a general's photo on the Pentagon wall doesn't sit well with him, he tears it down! To keep the Republicans in control of the House, he directly intervenes in the redistricting of Texas, throwing the world into chaos... Damn! His second term is nothing but a crazy reality show where ‘the whole world has to follow my lead!’
This madness is spilling over into life-and-death matters like war! Just for a washed-up politician in Russia (Medvedev, who is purely an online troll now) shooting off his mouth a few times, and because the Russians won’t buy his Ukraine peace plan, this crazy Trump actually shouts about redeploying American nuclear submarines! Damn it! It’s been almost 80 years since Hiroshima was bombed, and the corpses are still fresh! A president with the nuclear button acting like a fool, trying to scare people with nuclear weapons? What else could it be but madness? It’s an ultimate insult to human rationality!
That normal squabbling in Congress (the Democrats blocking his judicial nominations before recess) was enough to blow him up. He yelled at the Democratic leader Schumer, ‘Drop dead!’—this face is completely exposed: he’s just a petty tyrant who can’t take a bit of loss or insult, biting whoever gets in his way!
Ultimately, Trump’s manipulation of the BLS is him declaring war on ‘reality’ itself! Firing a truth-telling expert, suppressing an independent agency, altering data... all of this is just adding bricks to his ‘my word is law’ mirage. The higher this broken building goes, the further it drifts from the foundation of the real world. When it collapses one day, it won't just crush him!
Old Mr. Pich sees through it all: ‘Even if he finds the best person to be the new director, as soon as bad data comes out, everyone will start to wonder, ‘Was this number tampered with by him?’ Trust is something that can be shattered in a single blow, and trying to put it back together? Good luck with that! When the market starts to view every American data point like it’s from a con artist, investors will be too scared to bet, and foreign partners will think all your data is trash… the breath of the American economy is about to be cut off!
The most messed up part is, once this ‘data terrorism’ door is opened, it’s just like opening Pandora’s box! If the numbers next month are still garbage, will he have to find another scapegoat? If one day they suddenly look ‘good’ like they’ve been injected with steroids, who the hell would believe that isn’t just a painted-on facade? The entire statistical system will eventually become a laughingstock and a plague in the global financial circle, and there won’t be time to hide!
Trump’s ambitions are far beyond just tweaking a few economic numbers. From the judiciary to intelligence, from science to media, from Congress to the military... he is building a terrifying machine that only listens to him and has boundless power! The BLS issue is just another fresh piece of bone dust that this machine has just ground up, crushing expertise, truth, and systems.
So the question arises: When a rabid dog not only bites the family guard dog (the checks and balances), but also has its sights set on prying open the nuclear weapons vault, who do you think it wants to bite next? Or simply... set the whole yard on fire?
