I’ll spare you the rest of Trump’s statement where he calls Tim Waltz the R-word & hate mongers immigrants—

Trump doesn’t like data. He eschews facts. He wants investors and consumers — and everyone else — to be in the dark, because then he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.
