Trumps tax cuts kick in this year, remember?
It takes time to locate and build the plants and factories for new investment to filter through to new jobs, which has just started to show up in the data, right when you’d expect it to. Next you will start to see productivity, then comes the GDP data.
I think anyone with half a brain would understand that.
Instead of being an imbecile that thinks Trump has a magic wand why don’t you just accept that Trumps Tariffs did not bring Stagflation, the sky didn’t fall in and they have brought in huge sums of new investment to the US which is good for US jobs, Billions in Tariff revenue and some very good trade agreements for the US ?
This will bring growth and prosperity to the working class. We will no longer be an economy driven by Fed policy which favors the wealthy and leaves main st struggling and the US at the mercy of China.You've had a year and have only brought a huge backwards step in jobs and GDP. Inflation has gone up from day 1 of Trumps 2nd term.
You think zero jobs growth, 1.4% GDP and persistent inflation are silly arguments? The opinion polls do not agree with you.
Data centres will not deliver jobs, they will remove jobs. They will deliver growth for the top 10%.
Everyone else faces zero job growth and higher inflation thanks to tariffs. Ther tax cuts are not for them.Actually Tariffs were announced in April, trade agreements are still being struck but many are recent.
So it hasn’t been a year has it.
Again 1.4% includes a Gov’t shutdown and a collapse in Gov’t spending. Funny how you choose to not get into the weeds on that.
Q3 GDP was much higher.
Jobs are going to the private sector and to Americans, now that Immigration is being tackled wages are going up and rents are starting to drop.
Id say that’s a good thing for the less fortunate wouldn’t you?
Go on I’ll let you have the last word I’m tired of hearing you repeat yourself.

The fundamentals are an entire year with no job growth, muted economic growth and persistent inflation. The thing you are investing all this money in doesn’t create jobs, in fact it takes them.
Watching you try and cling on to any scrap of data is hilarious to watch though.It’s just a silly argument, you’re so desperate for a win.

Jobs all driven by healthcare & social care. You’re celebrating 1 month after 12 months of zero growth, and celebrating growth in one area which isn’t going to deliver growth.
Trump said he’d half electricity costs straight away……… but then he also said there would be no inflation, no trade deficit and 15% GDP

You don’t need to turn around those job numbers or the GDP growth. What you’ve actually done is make it worse.
Your excuses are hilarious, always someone else’s fault isn’t it?
What happened to 5% GDP? What happened to all the jobs they were creating? What happened to no inflation? Or halving electricity costs?I’d ask the Atlanta Fed about their 5% GDP print.
I just told you about the 170,000 private jobs created. Inflation is way down from the nightmare of Bidenomics.

All this with no help from the Fed, imagine that, and of course the axing of Gov’t jobs/bloat and Deportations.

1.4% in the final quarter
inflation at 3%.

for context, the worst president in recent history delivered in 2024
higher GDP growth

Fuck me, what a terrible track record.Yeh that’s right, the highest legal experts are all ‘dead wrong’. Even the one Trump chose
Minimal growth, zero jobs, persistent inflation……… if only there was a word for that.You bullshitting again?
Job numbers were a lot higher than expected remember? 4th quarter GDP has been explained and inflation outlook remains positive.
Productivity is up too.
You must do better.

Now we have to find out what happens on the Tariff money that has already been collected.
I see a gunman was shot and killed last night at Mar A Lago……. Anybody seen Goose?I’m here with my popcorn to watch your meltdown.
Does winning the war mean having to pay back all that money plus then hitting the US consumer & companies with more tax??

That's now an extra 15% sales tax Americans now have to pay on stuff bought in America. Not you, not me. Just Americans (and those living) in America.
Way to go!
