This is a huge warning sign.
Trump thinks he can make up his own facts. That’s why he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Now he’s telling us to wait a year for the “real numbers”?
His policies are tanking the economy. And no amount of mathematical gymnastics will change that.

America - I think you need to force another election. Your pres, Kennedy & Vance seem unhinged. Certainly not ‘elder statesmen’ of the free world. The world is supposed to look up to them because of the integrity they ought to have - they appear to have none.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
