Trump’s Playbook: Purge, Prosecute, Tariff, Repeat!
In a week worthy of an authoritarian screenplay, President Trump fired longtime stats chief Erika McEntarfer over 'phony' jobs numbers, while demanding his Justice Department prosecute Obama for 'treason.' As White House praises this as 'holding the federal government accountable,' even the Smithsonian quietly erased his impeachments from history. Oh, and did I mention he slapped Brazil with 50% tariffs and repositioned nuclear subs because Medvedev had the audacity to rattle sabers? As Larry Summers warned, this 'politicized economic data' setting is 'a dangerous precedent,' and we’re only six months in.

Oh, I’m sorry, did I miss the part where firing a stats expert for ‘phony jobs numbers’ is how democracy is supposed to work? What’s next, renaming math to 'alternative facts 2.0'? Spoiler: It’s already happening.
So let me get this straight: Trump demands loyalty like a short-lived sitcom, fires experts, and rewrites history — all while launching a tariff blitz like it's Black Friday sales. Someone call Netflix, this plot twist's got crazy ratings potential.
Watching Trump’s playbook unfold is like seeing a toddler try to pilot a 747 — chaos, confusion, and total disregard for the manual. Politics? No, it's political improv night at the clown academy.
