Since Erica McEntarfer got the ax, the agency she headed will be renamed. Henceforth, it will be known as "The Big Beautiful Bureau of Positively Glowing Labor Statistics."

It's reported that Connor James Estelle worked at VeUP before being fired in the wake of his Jubilee appearance. VeUP describes itself as helping "ambitious cloud-native businesses launch, scale, and optimise faster than ever before..."

It is, first and foremost, an act of abject fealty to Donald Trump. The "correct" response to the question is the response that will aggrandize Trump - that is the sole criterion of correctness.

That's a condition that goes unmet.

Exactly. When a principle is invoked only when doing so favors your side, it's not a principle, it's a pretense.

The idea of resurrecting the "American manufacturing behemoth" is a Trump pipe dream that flies in the face of 100 years of world economic developments. The entire nation must be put through it in order to provide psychological compensation for Donald Trump's persistent feelings of male inadequacy.

For the shrewder ones, "sabotage" probably fits. For the dimwits, Trump being dimwit-in-chief, perhaps it's more akin to vandalism?
