One more step, in the guidelines to becoming a dictator, that Trump took today!

[j-mac]

Trump said she was firing her for faking numbers to hurt him and help Harris.

Is Trump stupid, paranoid or lying?

No, he’s the President of these United States. And you’re not.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

What will you say, when in another 3 months, the numbers are found to be way better, and this period was a lie by BLS under this woman? Will you accept that, or try and tell us that THOSE numbers are a lie?

I already know the answer.

Yeah. Get fucked.

 

[j-mac]

Yeah. Get fucked.

I’m tellin ya, we know your tired ass playbook.

 

[Marener]

No, he’s the President of these United States. And you’re not.

What does that have to do with his statement?

You guys are really pathetic. You just ignore Trump’s crazy shit because you can’t ever admit anything bad about your daddy.

 

[Marener]

I’m tellin ya, we know your tired ass playbook.

What to talk about a tire ass playbook?

Take any information you guys don’t want to believe and blame the people giving us the information calling them partisan and trying to hurt Trump.

That’s so ******* tired.

 

[Hafar1014]

Do I need to remind you that cutting taxes helps Trump himself (as well all those billionaires that are helping him)?

In addition, reducing the power of GOVERNMENT is certainly what Trump is trying to do. He doesn't want government as that is against what Dictators want. Dictators want to be in charge by THEMSELVES.. Government prevents that from happening.


Wrong!

AI Overview

Do dictators want government in power or themselves, with less government?
Dictators, by definition, centralize and consolidate power in themselves or a select few individuals. They do not advocate for less government in the traditional sense, but rather for a reimagined government that serves as a tool for their continued dominance. This involves:

• Control and Manipulation: Instead of shrinking government, dictators often expand certain aspects of it, particularly the military, police, and propaganda apparatus, to suppress dissent and maintain control. They use these institutions to control information, track opponents, and enforce compliance.
• Suppression of dissent and Opposition: Any individual or group posing a challenge to their authority is repressed, through force, legal maneuvering, or appeasement.
• Centralization of Power: Dictators ensure the executive branch holds significant power, often at the expense of legislative and judicial branches. Formal institutions that might limit their power are either weak, disregarded, or tailored to their advantage.
• Ideological Justification: Some dictatorships, particularly totalitarian regimes, utilize a state ideology to legitimize their rule and mobilize public support.
• Self-enrichment: While not universally true, some dictators may exploit the government's resources for personal gain and wealth accumulation.
• Focus on Policy and Control: Although often assumed to be driven by solely personal power and wealth, research shows that some dictators are also motivated by policy-seeking, utilizing their authority to implement their ideological vision or address perceived societal problems.

In summary: Dictators are interested in using the government as a means to solidify and perpetuate their own power, rather than genuinely advocating for less government or decentralized governance. The extent to which they prioritize personal power versus policy implementation varies among individual dictators.


Democrats want the PEOPLE to have power as that is the way to bring help to the poor, help working families cope with the reality of life, and bring about a Democratic government of the people, by the people and for the people.

Biden nor Harris nor any other Democrat president tried to "DO IT ALL" (as Trump wants to do)! Dictatorship is one person in charge. Democracy is MANY people in charge.

What is considered a dictator?


A dictator is a ruler who holds absolute, autocratic power over a country, often with little or no regard for the rule of law or the rights of their citizens.

So I ask you, who (one person) is trying to be a dictator?

You think a dictator does not increase the power of government. Thats exactly what dictator means. The longer the post the more BS it has.

Trump uses power to reduce government power and at the same time the power of democrats who are totalitarianists

Trump isn’t reducing government power.

He’s using government to force private institutions to bend the knee to him, including social media, universities, law firms, news agencies.

Let me put it to you this way. There is a BIG difference in the word POWER that you are refusing to see. A Democratic government has the power put in the hands of the people (that means many people running the government), while a Dictatorship has the power put in the hands of one man, with no one but himself having the power.

Yes, the power of the government under a dictator does grow but HE is the one that controls everything. A democracy is of the people, by the people, and for the people, which is a big difference as to where the power is.

Evidently, you want ONE man to tell you what to do, instead of you having the power to vote for the people that have your best interests in heart.

 

[berg80]

No, he’s the President of these United States. And you’re not.

I'll add that post to the long list of posts from trumples who can not defend something trump does on its merits so they simply recite the line that he has the power to do it.

They fail to see the distinction between power and authority.

President Trump fires BLS commissioner after July jobs report​

President Trump said in a social media post Friday afternoon that he directed members of his administration to fire Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after the BLS on Friday published the July jobs report that contained what it called "larger than normal" revisions to data from May and June.

Controlling the information given to the people, is one of the steps that Dictators need to control the population.

The dictator’s dilemma: The distortion of information flow in autocratic regimes and its consequences​

This is what Trump is now trying to destroy!

AI Overview

The United States has a long-standing reputation for its robust system of collecting and disseminating labor and economic statistics. Agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the BurriFieau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are key playng ers in this effort.
Here's why the US is seen as a leader in this field:

• Established history: The BLS, established in 1884, has a long history of collecting high-quality data on various aspects of the nation's economy, including labor force participation, wages, prices, and productivity. Similarly, the BEA, founded in 1972, provides crucial data on national, regional, industry, and international economic accounts, including the widely-cited Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
• Comprehensive data collection: The BLS and BEA collect data through a combination of surveys, censuses, and administrative records, producing a broad range of statistics on employment, unemployment, wages, inflation (measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI)), and productivity, among other indicators. For example, the BLS conducts the Current Population Survey (CPS) to gather labor force information from households.
• Accuracy and Impartiality: BLS data aims to be relevant, timely, accurate, impartial, and accessible to all users. The BLS is committed to independence from partisan interests, ensuring its data's credibility and reliability.
• Impact on Policy and Decision-Making: U.S. economic data significantly impacts policymakers, researchers, businesses, and the public. This data informs critical decisions related to monetary policy, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans, among others.

Here is an example of the opposite, by a country run by a Dictator:

Putin’s War on Truth​

Trump continues to follow the guidelines for becoming a dictator.

For those supporting Trump, I hope that you enjoy (and can live with) the cutting off of data, statistics, and facts in order to support fake truths that Trump wants you to believe.

Firing an employee makes you a dictator?

You are a nutbag.

 

[j-mac]

What does that have to do with his statement?

You guys are really pathetic. You just ignore Trump’s crazy shit because you can’t ever admit anything bad about your daddy.

Well, what cha gonna do about it, other than *****?

I’m not a fan of the optics of why he says he did it, but he’s the chief executive, he can do that if he wants too…

Thoughts From an Independent:


Now that President Trump has fired BLS commissioner Erika McEntarffer accusing her of rigging data to reflect poorly on his administration, Goldman Sachs over the weekend released its revision estimates set to be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in September will reveal a 550,000-950,000 downward revision in the Government jobs report for the 12-month period through March 2025.

This longstanding practice by Donald Trump of firing people who report things he doesn't want to hear or simply accusing them of issuing "Fake News" is beginning to wear thin, even by some of his supporters.

Goldman Sachs has no reason to falsify employment data. In addition to being a well-respected financial institution, Goldman Sachs has been remarkably accurate with its employment revision reports for decades irrespective of partisan politics. So - What will "The Donald" do now? Sue Goldman Sachs? Try to fire them as well? What will Trump do if other financial institutions or fund managers' report similar data?

When I know more, so will you dear readers. Off the record. On the Q-T. And very Hush-Hush!

Jobs Take Massive Downward Revisions: Uncertainty And Risk Ride High

Jobs saw a -258K revision. Trump changes tariffs again. Q2 GDP was up for all the wrong reasons. Wages ran hot. Manufacturing is hurting. Nobody knows what will happen.

That’s so ******* tired.

They’re not just reporting information to you, they’re also giving you a narrative that you eat up…

You’re not a fan of thinking critically.

You just accept he does whatever he wants and you don’t dare question your daddy’s motives or wisdom.

 

[Marener]

They’re not just reporting information to you, they’re also giving you a narrative that you eat up…

Trump gives you the narratives. He says the numbers are fake. You say the numbers are fake. He says the director is political. You say the director is political. He says the economy is booming. You say the economy is booming.

All authoritarians squelch dissent, and Trump is taking this country in a direction it has not gone in 164 years.

We are having our "European" moment.
