Trump tells Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to replace bank's economist over tariff predictions
The US seems to be entering it's "Emperor's New Clothes" phase before it even throned the upcoming king.
And the list is much longer.
Next state of the union address, or whatever Trump will call it, everything will be blatant lies and everyone will go "ooohhh and aaahhhh what grandeur you have brought us", afraid of speaking out on what really is going on.
It's the War on Truth.
The Devil is the father of lies.
"State of the union" will be rebranded to "Beautiful state of the super-great union".
“Tariffs have not caused Inflation, or any other problems for America, other than massive amounts of CASH pouring into our Treasury’s coffers,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
You know, I'd chuckled at the "Truth" part of "Truth Social", but it hadn't really occurred to me until now:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda
Pravda (Russian: Правда, IPA: [ˈpravdə] ⓘ, lit. 'Truth') is a Russian broadsheet newspaper, and was the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, when it was one of the most influential papers in the country with a circulation of 11 million.[1]
Pravda became an official publication, or "organ", of the ruling Soviet Communist Party. Pravda became the conduit for announcing official policy and policy changes and would remain so until 1991. Subscription to Pravda was mandatory for state run companies, the armed services and other organizations until 1989.[17]
As the names of the main communist newspaper and the main Soviet newspaper, Pravda and Izvestia, meant "the truth" and "the news" respectively, a popular saying was "there's no news in Pravda and no truth in Izvestia". Though not highly appreciated as an objective and unbiased news source, Pravda was regarded – both by Soviet citizens and by the outside world – as a government mouthpiece and therefore a reliable reflection of the Soviet government's positions on various issues.
David Solomon "Yesss, precious Trump. We will fire them, yes, all the nasty economists, yesss."
I hate Donald Trump as a president, but God damn we could use more public officials who tell the head of a major investment bank to stick to DJing.
Honestly, this 'economist' had it coming. Did they think that economists' work is doing actual economic predictions? Lmao. Your work is to say what rich and powerful people want you to say.
Edit: grammar
Trump continues his war on reality. The problem is that no matter how elaborate and widely believed a fantasy, eventually it will bump up against reality, and reality wins every time.
