Trump Team Changed a Report to Hide How Bad DOGE Made Things

You'd never know what call wait times at the Social Security Administration are actually like based on what was supposed to be a nonpartisan report.

he Washington Post revealed Thursday that the Trump administration altered a Social Security report to make call wait times appear shorter than they actually were.

The report, produced in December by the Social Security Administration's inspector general, portrayed the average wait time for callers to speak to a representative as having dropped to under 10 minutes. SSA Commissioner and Trump loyalist Frank Bisignano cited the document as proof that DOGE layoffs and "staffing realignments" were helping to improve the department's inefficiency.

Just one problem: An earlier draft of the report stated that the "total wait time" for callers to connect with an SSA employee averaged 46 minutes to more than two hours last year.

This key detail was deleted from the draft just prior to publication, according to the file's version history accessed by the Post.

The tinkering gives what is meant to be an independent audit a whiff of propaganda. And it's just one example of what has been a focused assault on inspectors general--who are meant to be bipartisan overseers of government agencies--by the Trump administration.

. . .

I'd say the "whiff of propaganda' is similar to the stench that comes from the inDependable con - putin's puppet.

Have they mis-reported?

3. Easy answer: Everything they say.

Their intention is never to convey facts. Perhaps every now and then someone slips up or intentionally says a "truth", but their goal is complete destruction of the government. How better than to destroy the government's trustworthiness.
