Last two months of Biden's term: November, over 200,000 jobs added; December, over 300,000. First six months of Trump's term-- less than half that, culminating in a job LOSS of 13,000 in June.
Now, I know you MAGAs yeeped and yeeped and yeeped and told us that inflation was ALL BIDENZ FAWLT. Why? BECUZ HE WAS PREZIDUNT!
So, Trump is PREZIDUNT now; whose FAWLT is the crash in the jobs market?
Think hard, MAGA morons!!😛😛😛😛 I would wish that you got laid off, but none of you has ever held a job!!
I thought we had a "booming" economy---I know it must be true because Trump said so.
LIberals have the attention span of a squirrel. You guys argue that deficit spending is more fun than living within our means. Yes it is. Next you argue that fixing our trade issue is less fun than not doing so. Yes it is. Not fixing our trade deficit will lead to our economic death, however. Eventually, we need to be adults.

Well, things that blow up do indeed go "boom"...

Ah, so making the prices of goods skyrocket and destroying millions of American jobs is wonderful, because that will supposedly reduce the deficit, which Boiler has repeatedly told us is the most important concern in the world?
Does Boiler understand that Trump's policies, especially his rich man tax breaks, have more than doubled the horrible horrible deficit?
Boiler also dislikes trade deficits. Does he know that the last six months "under Trump" have seen the largest trade deficit in US history?
(I should note that in Boiler's ignorance, he disapproves of trade deficits because the word "deficit" sounds negative to him. The reality is that trade deficits mean that other nations are giving us goods and commodities in exchange for green pieces of paper. We don't have to grow or manufacture what we give them in return. We just have to print it.)

Not sure of your point, given that Trump ran bigger deficits by year than Obama. And I'm not sure what any of your post has to do with job creation since Jan 2025. But, in any case, I'm thinking that averaging ~350,000 jobs/month is better than 22,000 jobs/month, let anyone -13,000; but, I might be wrong and negative job growth will lead us to the promised land. Apparently that is Trump's plan.

Yes, a 4% increase in pricing is worth it return for millions of manfucturing jobs. The jobs will take time, and Kevin has the attention span of a squirrel.

Trump has planned 'defenses" to that. First he'll blame Biden. Then when everybody stops laughing, he'll call the job reports 'fake" and fire a few people. Then he'll claim that all the jobs lost were held by ILLEGULS and thus, the numbers signify a great victory.
In any.case, trade deficits aren't harmful at all. They send us stuff. We send them green paper. Sounds like a winner to me.

So, "instant economic miracle on Day One" has changed to "it will take time"? Sounds like a weasel to me. And that 4% number, you pulled out of your ass. It's gonna be more like 20% (annualized, from when the Trumpiffs finally kicked in).

Oh my, you are so tolerant of inflation now and it was so horrific just a year ago!?!? But, more importantly, you are not addressing the question of how stagnant and/or job losses help the economy. And if you really think that in our increasingly interdependent world our future is going to be found in political isolationism and economic protectionism, boy, have I got a lesson in economic depression and world war to show you.
