Idiot. 

Do you think it's smart policy to create a trade car so farmers can't sell their crops, but instead give them taxpayer money to survive?

This thread didn't age well.  No recession, economy doing great and Trump as popular as ever! 

For you America-hating Democrats and liberals this is bad news for you, which means it's great news for America!

The OP is a complete dipsh#t.

They don't even feel embarrassed for being so damn stupid. They just keep flaunting their idiocy on a daily basis.

On August 29, 2025, Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned that the U.S. economy is teetering on the edge of a recession, with President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariffs and immigration restrictions driving a slowdown that threatens widespread job losses.

On August 29, 2025, Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned that the U.S. economy is teetering on the edge of a recession, with President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariffs and immigration restrictions driving a slowdown that threatens widespread job losses.

The U.S. economy grew in the second quarter of 2025, with the Commerce Department reporting an annualized growth rate of 3.3% in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is a positive development, representing a rebound from a decrease in the first quarter and reflecting strong consumer spending and increased business investment. Global growth is also projected to pick up in 2025, although risks like trade tensions and policy uncertainty persist.  

Wages are up, prices are coming down, the housing market is stabilized and minority job numbers are way up with deportations on the rise!!!!

Job openings ticked down in July to levels rarely seen since the Covid pandemic, bolstering fears of cooling in the labor market.

The Job Openings and Labor Turnover report showed around 7.18 million listings in July, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Wednesday. That’s only the second reading under the 7.2 million level since the end of 2020.

Jobs numbers came out

22k jobs for August, dismal

June revised down to a 13k loss of jobs

Unemployment up at 4.3%

ARE WE GREAT YET?!@#$

[Ron_Artest 1,768]

Also this is the first report produced with Trump's new BLS head after he called the last numbers fake.

The more interesting thing will be how the numbers are revised later on.

Also, there is no point in trying to dunk anything on this. It's a bad number today. We all know it. Some of us will be honest about it

[Ron_Artest 1,768]

Unemployment hasn't been this high since 2021.

Nice job Trumpedo.

[thegeneral 3,341]

Job numbers bad

People increasingly feel they can’t make ends meet

Trump tells them numbers are fake and things are the best ever!

Paging @RLLD !

 

[Hardcore troubadour 15,617]

Biden left some mess behind. 

[MDC 7,610]

I’m surprised unemployment hasn’t been worse tbh. I know a company that spent a few hundred grand preparing for a job under the FEMA BRIC program that Trump canned earlier this year. Between those kinds of cuts and instability over tariffs, companies would be nuts to hire staff or plan big investments right now.

When Biden took over the country was in various states of being all locked down and the world was just opening back up

Pathetic economy. All this dope needed to do was continue what Biden was doing, pretend like he fixed things, and the strong economic growth that Biden provided in 2023 and 2024 would have continued.

But of course Donny fked it up. Had to grift with his tariffs on, tariffs off nonsense. Businesses can't operate properly with that kind of uncertainty about their costs. Of course Trump nor any of his cult followers know this, because they are collectively gullible, dumb, and in some cases dangerous.

Great job MAGA. Maybe Trump can find some other bureaucrat to fire who had nothing to do with it. This economic downturn is entirely on Trump.

"He's a good businessman though!" Get a clue. This guy doesn't care about America, doesn't care about you. So dumb. 

[Sean Mooney 1,999]

So let's call 2020 a wash and almost all of 2021 because of COVID stuff. But to be fair let's start in July of 2021. These are the unemployment rate landmarks.

 

July 2021- 5.4%

January 2022- 4%

July 2022- 3.5%

January 2023- 3.4%

July 2023- 3.5%

January 2024- 3.7% (so up YOY)

July 2024- 4.2%

__________________________________

January 2025- 4%

July 2025- 4.2%

August 2025- 4.3%

It is slightly below where it was at this point in Trump's first term. What stands out to me is- Trump was a known quantity and should have been able to get this back down under 4% again as he had during his first presidency. I think a lot of the stuff he is doing are unforced errors and so far- so far- it is clear his tariff battles aren't bringing jobs back, and any jobs he may have gained back is being offset by jobs he contracted in certain sectors.

Thinking the effects of tariffs is immediate is one reason why you teach children how to read instead of economics at the university.

Sean Looney lost his babysitter job? Aww....

Definitely better for the kids though. So it's a net positive.

This June was the first time we lost jobs since the last time Trump was president.  Biden never lost jobs.
