Trump just announced he’s firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics… because she reported job numbers that didn’t make him look good.
You know, normal democracy stuff.
🧵 Let’s talk about what he said, what it means, and how it ties into Project 2025.

In his post, Trump claimed the BLS “faked” jobs numbers before the 2024 election to help Kamala Harris win.
The commissioner he’s firing? A career economist. Her crime? Publishing job data that revised numbers downward… which, ironically, supports his narrative.
So naturally, she must be purged.

Monthly job numbers are always estimates. The BLS publishes scheduled revisions based on updated data, it’s how statistics work, not a grand conspiracy.
But Trump doesn’t care about accuracy. He cares about control.
And now he’s saying the quiet part loud:
“If the data doesn’t serve me, I’ll fire the people behind it.”

And here’s where it gets darker.
This isn’t just Trump being Trump.
This is Project 2025 in action.
It calls for:
-Firing thousands of nonpartisan civil servants
-Replacing them with political loyalists
-Taking full control of agencies like the BLS, DOJ, and Fed
-Ending independent oversight

It’s not about jobs. It’s not about interest rates.
It’s about power, and rewriting reality.
If they control the data, they control the story.
If they control the agencies, they control accountability.
And if they control both?
Good luck ever knowing what’s real again.

Trump’s already calling to “put Jerome Powell out to pasture” for not cutting rates on his timeline.
The message is crystal clear:
If you’re not loyal to him, you’re an enemy of the state.
(But sure, let’s keep pretending “he’s just being dramatic online.”)

So when you see someone say, “they’re just reining in the deep state,” remember:
This is what that actually looks like.
Firing economists for doing math.
Blaming job stats for bad press.
And gutting every check on his power.
