President Trump’s new job title? Commissioner of 'Alternate Facts.' After axing the Bureau of Labor Statistics boss post a gloomy jobs report, he claimed the data were 'rigged to make him look bad.' His reality TV version of government turns 'good job numbers' into gospel, while 'bad ones' become 'malicious attempts to discredit him.' Despite polls showing his approval underwater at 46%, Trump insists on 'sky-high' fan-club numbers, fancies his controversial tax bill 'big and beautiful,' and brags about supposedly 'stopping six wars.' Meanwhile, inflation is supposedly tamed enough to drop gas to $2—because why not bend physics with politics?
