U.S. Economy Shows Signs of Strain From Trump’s Tariffs and Spending Cuts

[Althea]

Stocks are down yet again today, while jobless claims are up, and consumer confidence is down.

The Trump economy. It all sounds so familiar - probably because this all mirrors what happened in his 1st term.

Fool me once & all that.

Evidently, still better than a vagina in charge.

 

[Althea]

Have you ever considered the tariffs coming from the other side?

LMAO.

Man, the MAGA's are sure staying away from this one.

They probably think this is a better economy than the Depression they were led to believe we were experiencing under Biden.

But, but, but....eggs and gas!

U.S. Economy Shows Signs of Strain From Trump’s Tariffs and Spending Cuts​

Consumer and business sentiment is wobbling as fiscal support fades and fears rise that tariffs will lead to higher prices.

The United States economy is starting to show signs of strain as President Trump’s abrupt moves to shrink federal spending, lay off government workers and impose tariffs on America’s largest trading partners rattle businesses and reverberate across states and cities.

No, you can't blame the economic depression that Democrats started on Trump!

Funding freezes and firings of federal workers combined with the prospect of costly trade wars are souring consumer sentiment, raising inflation expectations and stalling business investment plans, according to recent economic surveys.

China started the trade war, Sybil. I'm glad Trump is reducing spending and paying for useless federal workers.

Local economies are also bracing for a sudden withdrawal of fiscal support, forcing officials to contemplate tax increases or municipal bond offerings to stabilize their budgets.

You can't borrow your way to prosperity, Sybil.

While Mr. Trump has acknowledged that his policies could bring some initial pain, the early warning signs suggest that his blunt approach could come with more ominous risks to the economy.

You can't blame the economic depression that Democrats started on Trump!

“There’s more uncertainty than I think is widely appreciated,” said Michael Strain, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. “All the uncertainty around trade policy, uncertainty around some of the things that the Department of Government Efficiency is doing, I think will have a chilling effect on investment plans and expansion plans.”

Trump is failing.

It was also reported today that jobless claims are spiking.

Trump just isn't a jobs guy. Terrible record in his 1st admin, and it looks like that will continue.

Good. Fire the useless federal workers.

 

[Into the Night]

And some of the worlds top economists have come out and said if he keeps doing what he is doing and does put his tariffs on it will drive us into a deep recession / depression.

You can't blame the economic depression that DEMOCRATS caused on Trump, Tball.

And the stupid MAGAS are cheering this on.

MAGA isn't a person, Tball.

Looks like they want the destruction of the USA.

I am not a Democrat, Tball. Neither is Trump.

 

[Into the Night]

He doesn’t know what any of his cabinet is doing. He just wants to make money and stay out of jail.

What's hilarious is that you actually believe that! Go buy another box of Reynold's Wrap for your head, Phanty.

 

[Into the Night]

Chaos and uncertainty are never good for the economy.

What 'chaos', Sybil??

 

[Into the Night]

If we can get Democrats to just step back, relax and allow this MAGA train wreck happen, everybody will in the end, be free from these motherfuckers forever.....let Elon and Trump do what they want to do...ain't nobody stopping them anyway and Dem's don't have the courage nor numbers to do anything....so step back, be humble and let these mf's bee......

MAGA isn't a train.

 

[Into the Night]

Are you saying President Musk is creating chaos and is incompetent?
Say it isn't so.
Not President Musk.
LOL.

Elon Musk is not President of the United States, Tball.

 

[Into the Night]

It's hard to imagine anyone competent hiring a South African immigrant with no government experience to evaluate and slash federal agencies.

Just the person to do such audits. Elon isn't slashing anything. TRUMP IS.

 

[BartenderElite]

Elon Musk is not President of the United States, Tball.

No, Trump is.

And Trump is failing.

 

[Into the Night]

Can you imagine Obama holding a cabinet meeting and inviting Dr. Dre or some liberal billionaire to speak first before his cabinet says a word??? Just the thought is incomprehensible....white conservatives get away with all kinds of fuckin shit.

Trump spoke first. He was conducting the meeting.

 

[Into the Night]

This shit show has to happen in order to cleanse this nation of MAGA forever....one these brain dead white fucks and sellouts start feeling the impact of what those clowns are doing, they'll come around. That's why we gotta get off the mic's, stop with these press conferences that nobody is paying attention too and let these DEI hating motherfuckers have at it....and the beauty in all this....HIS SUPPORTERS ARE MELTING LIKE BUTTER ON A HOT WHORE'S ASS AND I LOVE IT. Whining to Trump, "they not like us", we's one of you!! Love it

Your hallucinations keep getting worse.

 

[Into the Night]

Well IMO it is going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.
My biggest bitch is we are all going to get hurt because of the stupid MAGA mother fuckers

MAGA isn't a person, Tball.
The only ones suffering are Democrats and useless federal workers that got fired.

Economists are starting to worry about a serious Trump recession​

Tariffs on America’s neighbours and assault on federal government will hit US economy

Donald Trump’s assault on the US federal government and the world’s interlinked manufacturing system have together reached an economic tipping point.

“It seems almost unavoidable that we are headed for a deep, deep recession,” said Jesse Rothstein, Berkeley professor and former chief economist at the US labour department.

No, Trump is.

And Trump is failing.

Then why are you so scared of him??

You are now locked in another paradox. You cannot argue both sides of a paradox.

Nah, that's not true. The market is way down, MAGA's are losing their jobs too, most consumers have less confidence - America is in a worse place now that it was just one short month ago.

Trump is failing.
