And One

 Shouldn't the guy who has been ruthlessly cutting programs and jobs in the public sector be glad to hear that more people are out of work? Apparently not, since the Orange Buffoon decided to throw a hissy fit after the July jobs report suggested that economic growth had slowed significantly. His response? Firing the  the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer. 

The counterintuitive nature of this action is obvious to anyone who has spent any time at all in their life counting. If you're three years old, you pretty much expect to be four on your next birthday. You might also get a little flummoxed when it comes to numbers bigger than ten, but at least you comprehend the natural progression of things. This tangerine chucklehead has a history of misunderstanding these kinds of things. We give pictures of objects for Kindergartners to compare and ask them, "Which one has more?" Why would we expect a self-professed billionaire to be able to reckon on that level?

When things don't go his way, this convicted felon tends to make up numbers. Which it would seem is what he expects others will do. He insists that the July report numbers ""were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad." Well, let's take a look at some other numbers that seem to float around in the former game show host's tiny brain: He claimed that he would  drive down drug prices by as much as 1,500 percent. A magical precedent, since the most a price can actually go down would be one hundred percent. That would mean that the consumer would now pay nothing. Or perhaps you've been out driving around searching in vain for the $1.99 gasoline that existed in "five states." A little hint for you scam-watchers: If they don't mention which states, it probably isn't true. 

If yo're a student of recent history, you may recall a years-long baseless challenge to the vote tally of the 2020 election. This is a guy who bankrupted casinos. Not by winning at games of chance, but by running them into the ground. This very stable genius does have something on his side: He doesn't have to be good at math. He just has to be better than the pinheads who hang on his every utterance.
