Trump Officials Delayed Farm Trade Report over Deficit Forecast - Politico
"A USDA spokesperson blamed the delay on an internal review"
In news this morning, Politico is reporting that Trump administration officials delayed and redacted a government forecast because it predicts an increase in the nation’s trade deficit in farm goods later this year, according to two people familiar with the matter.
“Objectivity is really key here and the public depends on it,” said Joe Glauber, a former USDA chief economist. “To lose that trust would be terrible.”
What trust?!?
There’s still trust?
Where??
