The BLS firing is a microcosm of COVID.

He thinks any bad news is a reflection on him. More importantly, he’s so self-absorbed that he thinks that anything negative is seen by others as negative on him.

The immediate response to COVID was “it’s not my fault”. No one said it was. Things happen and you deal with it. HOW a President deals with crisis defines their Presidency and he didn’t deal with it at all. Science bailed him out. Science going back to the mapping of the human genome.

Fauci laughed at him on live TV blaming “Deep State” and I told my wife as we watched it, “Uh oh, the knives are coming out”.

The feed I get on X is daily victory laps. Golden Age. He fixed everything (that wasn’t broken) in 6 miraculous months. ALL IS WELL. REMAIN CALM. Glory to ___ Trump.

And then, numbers. He’s not good with numbers. His entire business was shown to be a fraud. Anyone can “work” numbers but as someone with an accounting degree I know there is a very precise, annually reviewed, way to report them.


He’s a fragile little thing.

1. To be fair

The jobs report is all him since his destructive policies are causing the economy to tank. The jobs are directly reported to BLS from private businesses. There's no way to fake them.

2. "Slow the testing down, please."

He thought that would make him look better, too.

3. He dies his own hair and make up

This actually once gave Rush a pause - he does his own hair and make up.
