What American actor and activist George Takei says here is 100% accurate.
If any sane and decent were advising Republicans, he’d urge them to cut ties with Trump as soon as possible, and return to some level of credibility as a legitimate political party, rather than an organization of criminals and liars.
Virtually every day brings a new catastrophe.
Per the BBC: (Late last week) Trump has fired the boss of one of America’s most important economic institutions hours after weaker-than-expected jobs data stoked further alarm about his tariff policy. On social media Trump claimed that Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), had “RIGGED” jobs figures “to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad”.
From ABC News:
Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers called President Donald Trump’s accusation without providing evidence that the top Bureau of Labor Statistics official manipulated jobs report numbers “a preposterous charge” on Sunday.
Speaking with “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos, Summers said that one official would not be able to change the numbers. “These numbers are put together by teams of literally hundreds of people following detailed procedures that are in manuals. There’s no conceivable way that the head of the BLS could have manipulated this number,” Summers said.
Isn’t the entire Republican party cringing in embarrassment? The president of the United States rejects truth if it doesn’t represent him in a good light. This is depravity.
It’s long past time for a change. He’s insane, and needs to be removed via the 25th Amendment.
