    Damn, how many people does Trump have to fire before they learn to stop reporting these inconvenient facts?

      In any other universe that would be a joke, but in this reality, it’s entirely possible that he will replace people who post the truth about his shit-show.

        Firing people in the UK would be pretty hard for him to accomplish but not impossible. He could just sue them like anyone else he disagrees with.

        He is literally already doing that. After last month’s jobs report, he fired the head of the Bureau for Labor Statistics.

          Yup, but I can see this happening as a regular reaction to unfavourable facts. Mind you, he was doing this back during the pandemic, so this is just following the trend.
