In firing the head of the agency that collects employment statistics, the president underscored his tendency to suppress facts he doesn’t like and promote his own version of reality.
Hilariously ironic coming from the NYT, given that they have acted as leading mechanism for information control in support of a fascist genocide.
I appreciate the perspective, but I see parallels to information control across the political spectrum. While Trump’s actions certainly raised concerns, attributing them solely to an “authoritarian playbook” might oversimplify the complex factors at play. Perhaps a deeper look at the motivations behind these decisions would offer a more nuanced understanding? It’s hard to say where legitimate concern ends and something resembling bad parenting begins.
