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. :dunno:

Normally I'd give an incoming POTUS a grace period of 6-9 months in regards to "owning" the economy; but Trump was so intent on a Hundred Days blitz that he kind of negates that grace.  If he had suns

Biden blamed all bad things on Trump for 4 years.  Trump has had less than 100 days to fix the disaster he inherited.  This is Biden’s economy still.  Own it.    Trump is the way and he will le

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

Did you give your maid and lawn guy a raise in these tough times?

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.

2029. And you have to win an election first.

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.

You had an opportunity to capitalize after Biden's horrid economy. Did you??

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. :(
