It all makes sense reflecting what has happened.

1) Cut thousands of pubic jobs

2) Tariffs have paused private job pauses and spending pauses.

Trump has frozen the economy and given us all tax hikes.  Not a recipe for growth.

I'm doing great financially.

Hows the recession going?

[Ron_Artest 1,697]

11k more factory jobs lost in July, 24K total last 3 months.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

I don’t think there’s going to be a recession for now. I think stagflation is coming which will essentially be worse.

Labor market is stalling out right now and employers are backing off because of tariffs.

 

Solid work.

Job revisions down 70%.  Don't think we've ever seen this before.

Quote

 

President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon called for the ouster of the head of the Labor Department’s statistical arm after the latest monthly jobs report came in well under expectations.

“I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote in a social media post. “She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.”

Only sycophant cult followers defend Trump anymore. Even regular Republican normies that claimed "ultra-MAGA" credentials are turning on him.

Tick-tock on this failed administration, 2028 will be here soon enough.

He didn't like the job numbers, so he fired her.

Next month we will see 821,000 jobs created

[Grace Under Pressure 129]

Exactly. Trump Devotion Syndrome. Only sycophants defend this day in and day out. 

Cult followers. Seek help.

We have since learnt that US jobs growth ground to a screeching halt in May and June, just as labour economists had predicted. The picture has been getting slowly worse ever since.

Standard trade theory would tell you that America is – and will be – the chief victim of its own trade barriers, the highest since 1934 in an economy that is today an order of magnitude more dependent on foreign supply-chains. But it will take time for US self-harm to become fully clear.

That said, the Biden boom is already giving way to Trump’s incipient stagflation. This will be hard to disguise even if the White House shoots all the messengers.

I made bank during Biden’s term. So did everyone else invested in the market. It’s all there in basic charts. If Trump 2.0 matches that we could only be so lucky.

Inflation and the economy was the #1 reason people voted for Trump. And probably the top reason his approval rating is in the chitter.
