Ritchie Torres: Trump Is ‘Playing the Same Game of Censorship’ as in China

EXCERPT:

TORRES: "The war on truth is not a bug, but a feature of authoritarianism. You know, it reminds me, in June of 2023, China‘s National Bureau of Statistics reported a youth unemployment rate of 21%, and Xi Jinping, who is the dictator of China, was so furious with the job numbers that he ordered the bureau to stop publishing the numbers, to stop telling the truth. Donald Trump is playing the same game of censorship here in the United States. He‘s withholding the truth. What I find interesting is back in April, he was praising the BLS tor producing great job numbers, and now he‘s condemning it when there‘s an inconvenient truth that flatly contradicts his narrative."
