Economy added 73,000 jobs in July, as employers grapple with uncertainty

[Hafar1014]

This year Q1+Q2 GDP growth is 1.25%. Even you arent that dumb so I suspect you know that.

Q2 2025 (Adv)

Q1 2025

[td]

+3.0%​

[/td]​

[td]

-0.5%​

[/td]​

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.0 percent in the second quarter of 2025 (April, May, and June), according to the advance estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 0.5 percent. The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a decrease in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and an increase in consumer spending. These movements were partly offset by decreases in investment and exports.

Clueless dembot living in a fantasy world

You wonder why you all only have 19 percent approval rating? You wonder why the Demafacist had you believing xiden was sane and the Russian hoax was real?

No. It grew at an annual rate of .5% in Q1 and it grew at an annual rate of 3% in the second quarter. 3 months at .5% and 3 months at 3% is 1.25% for the 6 months annually (only .6% for those 6 months expected to double over then next 6 months getting to 1.25%). If you adjust for the import debacle, it is growing at 1.8%. No matter how you look at GDP it is not healthy.

Your post was misleading you said 1.25 when its 3.0

My "opinion"?
Trump is angry and perturbed that his "fixes" to the economy are insufficient.

He thought he could get some quick "wins" for the economy through tarrifs and everything would explode economically.

But it has not happened as the economic advisors have explained to him.
(Jobs, profits, growth)

The US economy is a behemoth that grows slowly. Moves like a big wet sponge.

And so he slapped reciprocal tarrifs across the board. If another country tarrifs our goods, then we have reciprocal tarrifs for theirs. Creating an inflationary environment.
Prices are going up no matter what long term if he continues this course of action.

The cutting of the federal payroll is helping....but not as much as Congress needs to cut the spending. Because the debt is not getting any smaller at these interest rates...and the rates will not fall as long as prices continue to climb. Skilled labor is still in short supply....and will not grow. Probably shrink due to the continuing hikes in cost of post-secondary educations.

The changes needed are something that takes longer than 4 years. Construction of industrial plants require 2 years minimum from financing and planning to supply chains and delivery of goods. Nevermind the power generation and water supplies necessary. (ALL industrial plants need water and power....even the simplest)

So....Trump is frustrated currently. No huge surprise. Lashing out won't get it done. But as he sticks to it....he will get it done.

Biden had 5 months to dig the economy into a deep hole. Trump is already improving it in just 7 months. Wait a few more months its going to geta lot better.

No. GDP has grown 1.25% this year. It wasnt even 3.0% in Q2 due to the timing of imports. Adjusting for imports its barely over 1%.

Haha well good thing we go by the last qtr where we just had 3.0 gdp…booming from the first qtr getting out of the xiden regime when trumps policies actually starting making an impact

Its not booming. What in this chart is booming?

Anyone comment ad to why beef prices are going up up up? I know its not tariffs and it surely is the slave wage pay processors make. Time to up up their pay.

Demand is outpacing supply so prices rise. Why the supply is down is mainly due to drought conditions in the US in the areas that grow the feed that supplies the areas that moo the loudest. Read somewhere that the current herds are at the lowest level in 50 years because they can't get food for more heads.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

This year Q1+Q2 GDP growth is 1.25%. Even you arent that dumb so I suspect you know that.

The GDP for Q2 is 3%. Trying to blame Trump for the Q1 low growth makes you look stupid.

 

[Dekster]

And he fired the person reporting the truth just now.

Oh the numbers are dodgy and have been for a long time. I just think its funny that he fired her now. The BLS was already having trouble getting reliable current data before they got DOGE'd so I am not sure any credible person will suddenly get The Orange Man the numbers he hopes for.

Imports aren't part of GDP.

3.0 per GDP, booming, from .5 growth coming out of Xiden, up 2.5 percent in just one quarter

Oh Biden and his cronies destroyed it for 4 years by direct intervention.

Government can easily destroy an economy with direct intervention....but it can ONLY create an environment for it to grow. That doesn't mean that it will. Because Governments are not in charge of the entire business environment of the whole world. Even if we hold a solid 25%.

Trump can help by creating an environment for electricity production to the point of excess capacity. (EPA restrictions lifted, fuel source mining made easier, Jax product utilization subsidies. )
Also, a FEDERAL Electrical grid....
Meaning a grid of transmission lines for electricity transmission that is low cost.

This way surpluses in certain areas can transmit electricity to wherever. And shortages/surpluses can be averted.

For example if it's cheaper to generate juice in Arizona versus Oklahoma....Oklahoma can import the juice from Arizona.
(And until California gets its head out of its buttocks no highway for it).

In the 50's they created the interstate system....and as a result the trucking industry ballooned. Did similar with Telecom industry and the internet ballooned. Now it's time to do the same thing with electricity....and possibly water.
