Donald Trump and maga Republicans continue to ignore administrative incompetence

Echo opinion letters published in The New York Times:

Dear Editor:  A day does not pass when Donald Trump’s glaring unfitness and authoritarianism are not on full display.

The firing of the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer, is just the latest outrageous example: shooting the messenger in an effort to deny reality.

Republican members of Congress, with rare exceptions, have been silent. Their complicity and compliance must be attacked by a public that refuses to accept this as normal. Many of these individuals know better and choose — either out of fear or self-interest — to turn a blind eye to the catastrophe befalling our country.

From Larry S. Sandberg in New York. a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College.

Dear Editor: Donald Trump’s firing of Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for weak labor market numbers is like terminating the weather forecaster because it rains on your picnic.

In my 95 years on this earth, I have never seen such childish tactics from a person in high office, let alone a president. He should pick up his toys and go home.
