When you fire the statistics collection people for true-but-bad news, you guarantee that you fly blind going forward, as people wont tell you bad news anymore.

We simply can’t trust government stats after this.

    What do you mean? If you stop collecting data there is no issue! Everyone knows that!

    Don’t you know how much faster Trump could have solved the pandemic?

      Trumps entire success strategy can be summarized with: „claiming victories where there are none“. That‘s it. It‘s not a very clever or original strategy but that orange is clinging to it like few before him.

        Hey, Trump has done a lot! Do you remember the Sharpie? What does a sharpie even cost? $500? Don’t say the man hasn’t sacrificed!

      It’s like me not going to the doctor anymore. The only person that can diagnose you with cancer is a doctor, ergo no see doctor, no get cancer.

        I can diagnose you with cancer for way less than a doctor. I also happen to sell supplements that cure cancer. Hit me up if you want some help.

      i think the idea is to “collect” data that shows how brilliant his policies are anything else is data “manipulation”
