Lie. The trump virus shut down the world, and created supply chain issues. Biden did a masterful job at getting trump's inflation to ease, despite record corporate profiteering.

trump's election gave the green light to corporations to continue the rape of Americans.

Some fun facts:

Opinion/By T.O. Goodwin

The American economy under Trump, as it stands at the end of 2025, is defined less by its performance than by the growing inability to measure it. The institutions that normally anchor public understanding—the Bureau of Labor Statistics, its survey divisions, and the statistical infrastructure that produces inflation, employment, and wage data—have been weakened by leadership disruptions, shutdown interruptions, and funding gaps. The result is an economy that continues to move, but without the instruments that allow the public to know where it is going. The canceled October inflation report, the missing employment survey, and the partial, delayed releases that followed are not technical footnotes. They represent a failure of economic transparency at the precise moment when households are facing rising costs and the government is insisting on stability it can no longer document.

Within that informational vacuum, several pressures are visible even without full data. Tariffs imposed across broad consumer categories are raising the cost of everyday goods—food, appliances, vehicles, clothing, construction materials—while the administration continues to add fiscal burdens through increased military spending. None of these cost pressures are captured in a continuous inflation series because the October data gap breaks the statistical sequence. But the absence of measurement does not reduce the burden on families who experience higher grocery bills, volatile fuel prices, and sustained housing pressures. Without clear CPI data, these structural cost increases do not register in the official narrative, but they remain fully present in household budgets.

The labor market shows similar fractures. The last reliable numbers—those available before the shutdown froze survey operations—indicated rising unemployment, slower job creation, and wages that were no longer outrunning the cost of living. With October and November labor data missing, the country does not know whether the slowdown has deepened or stabilized. This uncertainty is not abstract. It affects business confidence, hiring plans, wage negotiations, and the financial decisions of tens of millions of workers. A functioning jobs report is not just a statistical instrument; it is the central gauge households use to judge the health of the labor market they depend on.

In structural terms, the 2025 economy is marked by a growing contradiction. The administration asserts strength, stability, and control, while the institutional machinery required to verify those claims has been weakened or halted. The firing of the BLS commissioner in August, the shutdown in October, and the resulting collapse in data collection leave the public with political assurances but no empirical basis to evaluate them. In a modern economy, transparency is a form of stability. When the measurement systems are disrupted, the economy becomes harder to navigate, harder to plan for, and harder for ordinary people to trust. The absence of credible data is itself an economic condition.

Taken together, these patterns define the Trump economy as one operating under rising costs, weakening labor signals, and a compromised statistical framework. The underlying pressures—tariffs, energy volatility, housing constraints, military expansion—continue to move through the system whether or not they can be measured. What has changed is the public’s capacity to see the economy clearly. That loss of visibility is not a technical issue. It is a structural one, and it now shapes the economic experience of the country as much as any policy shift or market trend.

Bottom line Trump’s economy right now is a system running blind: prices are rising, jobs are softening, and the government has damaged the very tools needed to measure what’s happening. The public is being asked to trust stability in an economy that can no longer be fully seen.

I have a question: who actually received and cashed the federal stimulus checks? Across the pandemic period, Americans received three rounds of payments. The first two rounds were issued in 2020 under President Trump, and the third round was issued in 2021 under President Biden. Anyone who met the eligibility requirements based on income, tax status, and dependent status received these funds automatically. Millions of people across the country—Trump supporters, Biden supporters, and everyone else—cashed them without distinction. The program made no political separation; every eligible American received a payment as part of the federal response to the nationwide shutdown. Hmm. Just sayin.
