The unemployment rate for black Americans spiked upward to 7.5%.

Maybe a lot of the people who voted him in out of stupidity & lack of interest in informing themselves of policies, might just pause to reflect on their decision & reasons?
And maybe pigs will fly?

Native-born American employment dropped 560,000 in August.

Native-born unemployment rate increased to 4.6%.

I see the idiots are all quiet in the corner sucking their thumbs and pulling their comfort blankets around them

 

[heathrowinneo]

And Arkansas farmers are now asking for subsidies due to the tariffs.

So DonOld’s firing of the BLS commissioner was pure BLShit.

Job numbers continues to plummet as jobless claims spike.

DonOld is WHOLLY unfit for ANY office - for COUNTLESS reasons.



We. Told. Them. So.

 

[Biglibido99]

Yep, he's a failed business man, a failed president & worst of all a failed human being

 

[Pad_Foot]

The dollar has lost about 10% to the Euro

CPI up another .2% in august. PPI expected to be up between .3 -.4%. But hey. Tariffs aren’t going to effect inflation according to the feeble, fat, fuckwit in charge.

"But he's a business man & knows what he's doing - I believe he'll make America great again - just have to trust him "

No, he's not a businessman, he's a salesman of the worst sort - a conman a grifter, a scam artist, who has put America up for sale and enriched himself & family by 5B since he became President.

Do you think for one minute he cares one shit about you? This is now a dynasty that this family will not give up - too much money to be made from this scam, these fools

 

[Biglibido99]

What all non-fools know about Trump's claims & how he's being played by everybody who knows he's a fool, just like his followers - give him numbers, any made-up numbers to make him look good but those are just words, not commitments

Zuckerberg caught on hot-mic doing exactly that - not exactly how this vid is titled - the bias is evident in the title - yes, Zuckerberg is saying whatever to fool Trump and get on his right side (not bend the knee to Trump) but it could also be titled "How Trump is being made a fool of - not that much is needed"

Trump doesn't care if there is any truth or intention behind the words - he just wants to fool his base of fools - not too difficult to do

couple the firing of the BLS, inflation creeping up and unemployment, should be bumpier ride. noted some companies have suspended 401k contributions due to the economic conditions and tariffs, sherwin williams and werner company. the labor supply is also going to drive prices up with fewer workers. so, what is the plan, just continue with chaos or is there something more concrete?

Trump's plan? - make me & family richer - as long as the fools keep buying my lies

the plan is probably to continue the chaos with oscillating trade and short-sighted economic policies AND make sure there is way to shakedown others, including your summary. keep 'em off balance and define nothing, take credit for perceived good things and blame others

Ag trade sets a record, but not a good one.

US Farm Trade Deficit Widens to New Record as Imports Surge

Agricultural exports lagged imports by $4.97 billion in July, a gap 9% wider than a year earlier and the largest on record for the month. That pushed the sector’s deficit to an unprecedented $33.6 billion for the first seven months of the year, according to data released Monday by the US Department of Agriculture.

The US imported more than $132 billion in agricultural goods in the first seven months of 2025, almost 8% more than a year earlier. Meanwhile, the sector’s exports slid 1.3% to $98.8 billion, according to USDA data.

Hey MAGA sheep, is Donnie’s Department of Agriculture releasing fake news? The Petulant Man-Baby is going to want to fire someone.

The economy was bad when Trump took over; his tariffs haven't made it better, but worse, and so did the Big Spending Bill that he and The Johnson rammed through.

Well, no. The economy wasn’t bad when Trump took over. All of the economic data from 2024 was good.

A reminder that Trump inherited a strong economy …

Best 2 years for stocks since 1997-1998

Bidenomics! ️️ But analysts worry about the Trump effect for 2025.

Continued good employment news.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-unemployment-claims-fall-211-134143944.html

Construction spending increased 3% over the 12 months ending in November.

Construction spending is well above the level of the first Trump administration.

The value of the dollar rose against other currencies throughout the Biden administration, and is higher than at any point during the Trump administration.

US exports are at an all-time high.



But the trade gap widened on fear of Trump’s tariffs …

US labor market finishes 2024 on high note, adding 256,000 jobs in December as unemployment falls to 4.1%

Good economic news is welcomed by real Americans, but MAGAs are probably mad because Biden is going out strong.

The Biden administration job creation record …

Total employment

January 2020 156,994,000 (pre-pandemic)
January 2021 148,383,000 (takes office)
December 2024 161,294,000

4.3 million more jobs now compared to peak employment during the Trump administration.

12.9 million more jobs than when Biden took office.

This may be the most interesting economic thing that happened during the Biden administration. Growth of the median wage stayed within a narrow band (between 3% and 4%) during the Trump administration even during the pandemic. But when the pandemic ended, there were “help wanted” signs everywhere and wage growth shot up to over 6%.

Good news ️

U.S. economy grows solid 2.3% from October to December, 2.8% for full year 2024



Despite what Doddering Donnie says, he inherits a strong economy.

The strength of the US economy contrasts with Europe …

Personal consumption continues to soar (and yes, this data is adjusted for inflation). MAGAs pretend the economy is a disaster but facts say it is strong. Totally Fact-Free MAGAs!

Well, no. The economy wasn’t bad when Trump took over. All of the economic data from 2024 was good.

A basket of groceries that cost $100 in 2019 cost $136 in 2024. That's a bad economy. Gas, housing, clothing, and groceries were al way up during Biden's four years from when he took office.
