What would right wing media be saying about the Biden admin if.............

[Papageorgio]

Uh, no. It means that millions of people are as stupid as a pile of concrete.

So you believe that 81% of the American people are stupid and of course you are part of the 19% that are smarter than anyone else.

The tariffs are ILLEGAL, & The Constitution that Trump & you MAGA travellers don't give a shit about says so. The issue is in litigation & felon47 Trump is likely to get his ass handed back to him by that Court.

Dotard's trade representative just made comments to the effect the court rulings against trump won't matter. Suggesting he will ignore another court order and leave the tariffs in place.

........jobs numbers had been revised downward to this degree?

The July jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls expanded by 73,000 last month, well beneath the consensus estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones that called for a 100,000 increase to payrolls. Prior months were significantly revised down. June job growth totaled just 14,000, down from 147,000. The May count came down to 19,000 from 125,000, signaling the labor market has been weakening for a while now.

It would be saying Biden lied to hide a weakening economy.

Republicans are infamous for their partisan hypocrisy.

True. But inflation is coming down, its under 3%. You don't wait for inflation to be at 2% and then start cutting.
The EU is already at 2% while the US is at 4.5%. Powell is too late.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has recently held its key interest rate steady at 2% amid economic uncertainty and trade tensions, signaling a potential pause in its cycle of rate cuts. This decision comes as the ECB assesses the impact of tariffs and aims to maintain stability in the eurozone economy.

Inflation is coming down but prices are still very high and the economy is still catching up. Tarriffs plus rate cited excellerates consumer costs. And again I’ll say. Didn’t Trump run on lowering prices? Grocery prices was a pretty big campaign issue. I’m not hearing much about it now

We already know, because the Quid Pro regime routinely downgraded their jobs numbers.

You are infamous for saying things that don't contribute to a conversation.

 

[TemplarKormac]

And why are we attempting to suppress economic activity in an economy you and others see as being damaged by Trump's policies?

Genuine question. It seems to defy basic macroeconomic precepts keeping rates higher, especially after the July numbers came out. You don't want to stress the economy further, correct?

Anyone?

True. Trump ran on lowering energy costs, which should lower most costs.
If the "Law of Supply and Demand" works, by deporting millions of illegals, who got free food under Biden, should lower demand and grocery bills. Here is a link that shows how the costs of food items are tracking:

CBS News price tracker shows how much food, gas, utility and housing costs are rising

These charts track prices consumers pay for groceries and other goods now compared to five years ago.

Well... since nobody is interested in explaining their positions, I'll simply have to assume they don't know what they're talking about, either.

Is that why Trump has better approval ratings than the Democrats?

Uh, no. It means that millions of people are as stupid as a pile of concrete.

Employers continued to create jobs but pulled back on hiring, a sign that more businesses are putting expansion plans on hold as they deal with economic uncertainty created by President Trump.

Gee, what could be causing uncertainty?

Simply put Powell's interest rates. It's clear that employers are ready to extand, and want to, but, and holding off hoping waiting on Powell to leave so interest rates come down so they can borrow and expand.

 

[Clipper]

Dotard's trade representative just made comments to the effect the court rulings against trump won't matter. Suggesting he will ignore another court order and leave the tariffs in place.

That's what happens when an organized crime boss is put in the W.H.

 

[struth]

It's why trump has been complaining about Powell for months. He set Powell up as the fallguy for the effects of his tariff idiocy.

The tariffs have been a massive success

Jamie Dimon changes tune on Trump tariffs: ‘So far, so good’​

“We started tariffs. We didn’t know what they’re going to be. And now we kind of know. And they’re more moderate and thoughtful and, you know, more carefully done,” Dimon said during an interview with CNBC’s Leslie Picker.

“And hopefully they’ll help some companies export. You know, maybe some people move manufacturing back here. So, you know, so far so good,” he added.

The CEO previously predicted that a recession would come under such heavy shifts ordered by U.S. trade negotiators.

You sound a lot like the dems that went to Jonestown.

 

[Lesh]

Those job numbers are welcomed by Trump, it shows/proves that the Fed is too late cutting rates.

Welcomed?

He WANTS bad job numbers?

What would the supporters of Biden or any Democrat President do under the same circumstances?
Rhetorical question we all know ignore it or spin it it’s always funny when blind partisans get worked up over the other side doing something they have done or would do.
