3rd Quarter 4.3% GDP vs 3.3 Estimated

[The Irish Ram]

Those living pay check to pay check, things are not getting better

Not true. Gas and food are good examples of things getting better.
Wages are increasing.
And for those who work in a service that garners tips, it's great news.

Wrong - t is not worse, overall, than Biden but it is not better from what Trump inherited.
Category Breakdown (12-Month Change - Nov 2025)

• Energy: Up 4.2% (gasoline, fuel oil, natural gas rose).
• Food: Up 2.6% (food at home at 1.9%).
• Shelter: Up 3.0%.

Recent Wage Growth Trends (Approximate)

• 2020: Moderate growth (around 2.8% nominal), but impacted by pandemic shifts.
  
  
• 2021: Significant jump (8.89%), partly due to low-wage earners leaving the market, boosting averages.
  
  
• • 2022: Growth slowed slightly (5.32%) but remained strong.
    
  • 2023: Continued solid growth (around 4.43%), with middle-wage growth at 3.0% over a 4-year cycle.
    
  • 2024-2025: Typical year-over-year nominal growth around 4-5%, with real (inflation-adjusted) wages increasing as well, indicating better purchasing power.

Who the hell you telling what's going on ? I took that picture myself..you libs are whacked Joe Biden was $4 from for most of the time he was in office all the way up to $5 it's only been 11 months

Which ones have you heard that you like better?

I wish those were real.

They are not.

The GDP growth is good but no better than during the Biden administration. (see below)
The Trump has a similar economy as Biden. The GDP is up and the stock market is up. The every day costs of living continues to increase.
Trump is making the same mistake as Biden, he is telling everyone the economy is good because GDP and the stock market is up but the cost of living continues to increase. Those living pay check to pay check, things are not getting better.

Dude inflation was so high under the Biden administration it had to go down some... You're comparing apples to oranges prices went up so fast under Biden and wages didn't .. Trump haters are funny people

 

[yidnar]

Lies from a lying regime.

Like most women, I laugh at your impotence.

The Trump effect...More money in people's pocket

He's said it would be $2. Thanks for confirming he's a failure.

Good to see you're supporting the Venezuela State Owned petroleum company though.

So it's actually more money in Madoro's Pocket...thanks to you.

What kind of stupid gibberish are you talking? Are you off into some kind of psychiatric liberal ways. The Chinese and Maduro and Cuba, Russia ran wild in our hemisphere under Joe Biden ...gas prices are way down gas prices haven't been this low since the last time Trump was in office... It'll be down to two dollars in a couple months dropping like a rock.... Madeira's oil is going into our petroleum reserves that Biden emptied to lower gas prices before the election

Cuba ran wild?

Thanks fore the chuckle.

.gas prices are way down gas prices haven't been this low since the last time Trump was in office... It'll be down to two dollars in a couple months dropping like a rock

The national average price of gasoline is 2.85. It was $3.04 a year ago.

The "Trump effect" is that he lies and you believe it.

You do know CITGO is Venezuelan, right? I'm sure that doesn't matter to you as you send them more and more money while complaining about them on this board.

It's a freaking gas station, citgo is Venezuela who gives a s*** it's like that all over the place around here fraud.... yes gas prices went down slightly right before the election because Joe Biden released it from our strategic oil reserves you idiot.. you're not too bright are you.?.....nutjob... Act like you can think for yourself trump hate has caused your ability to reason to be diminished.... Venezuela

"Yes, Citgo gas stations are owned by a U.S. company that was the subsidiary of Venezuela's state oil company (PDVSA), but after years of legal battles and sanctions, the parent company is being sold in a court-ordered auction to satisfy debts owed by Venezuela, with a U.S. investor group (Amber Energy, backed by Elliott Management) winning the bid in late 2024 for a sale expected to close in 2025, meaning it's transitioning away from Venezuelan control."

What Trump inherited was 2.7%. That is what it was when he took over. Just like every month Trump is President, he inherits what it was the month before

Imagine if the government had always been working for us…..
