But he never says or explains how they’re rigged. Funny thing is he doesn’t understand how anything works to even come up with a decent lie. Always fake news with these guys.
Same way Florida 'fixed' covid
Since cheetolini will never be held accountable for his lies, we have to sit and watch our nation collapse one day at a time
I'm sure your memes will fix it
Cheetolini almost sounds like an actual food, but I see what you did there.
I refuse to give fascists SEO
but he’s just made the weak jobs number worse by one more?
The ego of a callow petulant child, threatened by anything that goes against his imaginary narrative.
Weak!
On the one hand, he's trying to court Wall Street by incessantly demanding lower interest rates, but this seems toxic to them. Politicizing this means any future data is suspect.
The jobs numbers are such a huge part of the capitalist opera, and I don't think every major investor wants to try to gather their own data.
Shocked at this move. He's been champing at the bit to fire Powell (fed reserve chair) and his handlers have kept him in check. Really must have blown a fuse in this case.
Not as bad as fucking with the fed, but this will frighten Wall Street.
What a snowflake
