From the NYT:
Employers continued to create jobs but pulled back on hiring, a sign that more businesses are putting expansion plans on hold as they deal with economic uncertainty.
The economy added 73,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported on Friday, lower than economists’ expectations. The unemployment rate slightly rose to 4.2 percent, up from 4.1 percent the month before.
In a sign that the labor market may not have been as robust as it seemed earlier this year, job gains from the past two months were also revised down by a total of 258,000, an unusually high number.
Jobs lower than expectations.
Unusually downward revision of prior months.
Unemployment slightly up.
Everything Trump touches dies.

Trump needs to find a way to 'control' the data. I'm sure he is working on that problem. Next: get a politicized Fed. We saw in the last Fed meeting how the only two who opposed the consensus were Trump appointees.

While I am certain some of the Trump policies have been VERY BAD, I don't put all of this on his changes. I do think AI is starting to eat into some of the higher paying jobs. This is just anecdotal based on my circle of friends, and would appreciate any statistical data...

S&P: "US corporate bankruptcies in July reached their highest monthly volume since 2020."
"June marked a historic surge in US corporate bankruptcy filings, with the highest number recorded in a single month since at least the start of 2020 and surpassing half-year figures seen in over a decade."
The worst #'s since the last time Trump was president!
Viewing Trump's economic policies, it becomes very clear how Trump managed to go bankrupt 6 times...

Obviously fake news.
Trump is a genius businessman.
As for the increasing number of bankruptcies…… you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette! You libs don’t know anything about business. Thank God our pedopresident does!
Even as we speak, he’s cooking those omelettes on the concrete parking lot that replaces the White House Rose Garden. Again, he understands EFFICIENT USE OF SPACE- unlike those rose bush hugging libs.

How much more "winning" can MAGA stand?...
"For the third month in a row, Americans are spending more than they're making."
"Families at the lower end of the income spectrum are increasingly under pressure from a labor market that is softening and prices that are rising,
while individuals at the higher end of the income spectrum are still spending relatively freely."
"Many Americans are spending down savings and putting more on credit cards and that is not sustainable.
You can only finance your consumption through credit for so long. Credit is good as a bridge, not a long-term solution."
We now have the worst economy since the last time Trump was president!
Observing Trump's economic policies, it becomes very clear how he managed to go bankrupt 6 times...

Still waiting for the trickle-down?
The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US.
The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.
The culture wars, the gender wars, the pet-eating Haitians...
all just smoke screens as the owner-class continues to pick your pockets clean.

Wealth inequality in America is currently at historically high levels, the top 10% of U.S. families now control nearly 70% of total national wealth,
while the bottom half own 3%.
This divide has nearly doubled since 1960.
If there was only a solution to this problem!
Maybe more tax cuts for the wealthy would help?

Which has been the stated objective of "supply side economics", for over 40 years. Anyone who objects to this trend is, we are told, a COMMIE!!!

These statistics must be banished. I'm sure Trump is working on that.

Thanks to Trumps tax cuts for the wealthy...

while the bottom half own just 3%.

Today in Trumps economy:
"Foreclosure rates have surged across the country and are up almost 20% from this time last year."
"In 2025, we’ve seen a consistent pattern of foreclosure activity trending higher, with both starts and completions posting year-over-year increases for consecutive quarters."
If you're one of the unfortunate folks who is losing your home, look on the bright side, at least Trump is bailing out Argentina! Winning!
