    THIS is what has brought (and will continue to bring) inflation down -- huge shrinking of the budget deficit. Trump has proven all the (liberal) economists wrong. Amazing.




    GOOD DAY

    Deficit for 2025 will come in at 1.85 trillion while the 2024 deficit was 1.8 trillion. No evidence at all the deficit will be cut by 800 billion but thank you for posting this clip cuz it shows how you low iq cultist believe anything yall are told.

    I cant believe you actually posted this clip. My dumb self actually thought you were half intelligent and you just trolled here for fun. Youre actually really really stupid Nd extremely brainwashed

    next year's deficit will be much worst attributable to these factors
    • the big ugly budget will add $2.4 trillion to the deficit
    • should the US Supreme Court rule that POTUS lacks the authority to impase tariffs, Trump 2.0 will be order to refund $2.4 trillion US businessess, increasing the deficit

    'A hiring recession': Trump's tariffs devastate job market

    The unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Tuesday, the highest level since September 2021 when the economy was still recovering from massive COVID-19 job losses.

    The 4.6% unemployment rate is higher than the 4.5% the Federal Reserve Bank predicted it would peak at this year, and marks yet another troubling sign for the economy that President Donald Trump has crippled with his nonsensical tariffs.

    The unemployment rate is worse for specific subsets of the population. Black workers have an 8.3% unemployment rate—a whopping 2 percentage point increase since January, when Trump entered office. Roughly 800,000 fewer Black workers were employed in November than they were in November a year prior.

    Ultimately, the economy added just 64,000 jobs since September. However, the economy lost 105,000 jobs one month prior, meaning job growth was actually negative over the last two months.

    “The US economy is in a hiring recession,” Heather Long, chief economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union, wrote in a post on X. “Almost no jobs have been added since April. Wage gains are slowing. 710,000 more people are unemployed now versus November 2024.”

    Long blamed the hiring recession on “a combination of tariff impacts, AI, and cost cutting.Americans are feeling it.”

    Even worse is that the BLS said nearly 1 million people are underemployed, working part-time jobs for economic reasons because they cannot find full-time work.

    With a jobs report like this, it's no wonder Americans have negative feelings about the economy.

    Layoffs have picked up in recent months, as companies contract due in part to Trump’s tariffs and the economic uncertainty they’ve unleashed. And prices are continuing to trend up, no matter how much Trump wants to claim that he’s brought costs down.

    It’s why Trump’s approval rating has plummeted over the past month, with voters voicing their discontent in a series of elections in which Democrats vastly overperformed their 2024 margins and even flipped seats that had been long held by the GOP.

    Republicans have begged Trump to take the economic concerns seriously.

    However, Trump has not heeded their calls, instead telling Americans they should simply buy fewer items if they can’t afford them.

    “You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils. That’s under the China policy, you know every child can get 37 pencils—they only need one or two, you know they don’t need that many,” Trump said, adding, “You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter, two or three is nice, but you don’t need 37 dolls.”

    Sorry that meant to say *LOWER PAYCHECKS* / *BIGGER PRICES*

    It's been said before, but LOL at anybody who thought this was going to happen and all the idiots waving the signs out there.

    It was obvious what was going to actually happen, we all knew it even thought the media both-sides & downplayed it, and yet 49% of people out there did it anyway.

    People who voted for Trump bear responsibility in a moral sense for the misery, death and destruction he and his cronies inflict.

    Those people are delusional and will still blame their lower paychecks and lower purchasing power on Biden.

    I can't even begin to imagine how many flat out lies Trump will spew tomorrow on National TV. I'm not watching that crap. I'm pissed it will interrupt Survivor. The last thing I need to watch is a pathological liar, con, and grifter spewing his BS and touting all his fake achievements and fake health reports, pretending he is the greatest gift to America. The dude's a psychopath. I can only imagine the vile and disturbing Christmas message he will give. Nope. I'll be passing on that propaganda and hate fest.

    Wait, what’s happening tomorrow?

    I’d never watch a Trump speech…I can barely stand listening to the demented buffoon in short clips, I couldn’t imagine listening to him ramble for an hour

    hopefully he sh*ts himself while he’s talking
