“You can’t really make the numbers different or better by firing the people doing the counting,” said Sen. Rand Paul
Several Republican senators and right-leaning experts have criticized Trump for the decision.
“If the president is firing the statistician because he doesn’t like the numbers but they are accurate, then that’s a problem,” Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wy.) told The Guardian. “It’s not the statistician’s fault if the numbers are accurate and that they’re not what the president had hoped for.”
“If she was just fired because the president or whoever decided to fire the director just … because they didn’t like the numbers, they ought to grow up,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).
“We have to look somewhere for objective statistics,” Sen. Rand Paul, (R-Ky.) told NBC News. “When the people providing the statistics are fired, it makes it much harder to make judgments that you know, the statistics won’t be politicized.”
Were you just now realizing you all elected a 2 year old child into the highest office of one of the most powerful nations on the planet? Nice try suckas, you are all to blame for this shit. The lack of subtlety is very apparent you know exactly what you are all doing. Most of us still paid attention in class past 1st grade.
Yes, I just realized it this afternoon.
You fucking chowderhead.
