Yup, every data point that you don't like is because someone is lying about it. Good luck with that.

Not every data point.

Just the data points that this administration calls data but is nothing resembling data.

Granted, as the weeks go by, it will be increasingly more difficult to tell one from the other, because this administration is busy erasing all of the actual data... scrubbing websites, deep-sixing studies and data sets that were collected according according to actual scientific and statistical methods.

Data will increasingly resemble Trump's pronouncements and will bear the unmistakeable signature of his odd verbiage.

Like taking that Sharpie and attempting to change a weather map.

Except now the forecasters will be sufficiently cowed to obey in advance and make the changes BEFORE he takes out his Sharpie.

This IS one of the most significant Achilles heels of authoritarian regimes...... Nobody wants to confront Dear Leader with the truth. As a result, the country goes to shit and can't do anything in a professional manner.

Just ask the Russian troops getting slaughtered on the front lines in Ukraine and Kursk.
