    the US economy has essentially added no jobs since last April, when Trump announced his slate of tariffs.
    Almost every major sector of the economy has been shedding jobs. Even healthcare, the one bright spot
    had a weak February, though that is attributed to strike activity

    Trump on rising gas prices during Iran operation: 'If they rise, they rise'


    "I don't have any concern about it," ‌the 79-yr old convicted felon said.

    The comments mark a shift in tone for the dotard, who touted a drop in gas prices
    • in his State of the Union address last month and
    • at a Texas rally focused on energy that took place just before the U.S. launched its air strikes on Sat.
    Global oil prices have jumped 16% since the war started on Saturday, as the spreading conflict disrupted Middle East ‌supplies.

    Maybe pissing off Canada wasn't such a bright idea. Seems Carney is putting together a trade coalition of EU and Pacific countries that will not be dependent on the US or China.

    This is from a Canadian, so take that into account. Still, there's little doubt that walking away from allies has done anything but weaken the US for now and well into the future. We are not too big to fail.

    revised down due to government shutdown and weaker export

    also downward revisions to consumer spending and business investment

    Economic growth late last year was much weaker than previously thought - CBS News

    New government economic data shows that U.S. economic growth was significantly weaker in the final three months of 2025 than previously reported.

    The nation's gross domestic product — the total value of goods and services produced in the U.S. — expanded at a meager 0.7% annual pace in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department said Friday. That is half the 1.4% growth rate the agency initially estimated last month.

    The previous rate, 1.4%, was already lower than expected. GDP revision happens all the time - not strange.

    The W.H. does block certain releases, though, to ensure "accuracy." For an administration and head-of-state that is fast and loose, and maybe corrects later, when the W.H. blocks something, it's because they don't like how it looks. The latest example is the W.H. halting a FBI security bulletin (to state and local law enforcements agencies) warning of Iran-related threats, saying they want to ensure the information is accurate.

    Inflation skyrocketing, job growth zero, gas prices skyrocketing and we're in the middle of a hot war. This thread might be your dumbest thread ever @El_Conquistador . Congratulations

    By 2028, he'll come back with a new alt due to how much credibility he will have lost by then.

    Steve Hilton is polling at 17% leading everyone and your wretched Dem candidates are at the bottom. You’re about to get an elephant governor scooby doo, unless your side cheated again. Are you going to move in November? Bwahahaha!
