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.

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.

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. 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.

“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.”

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.

When you fire slackers, that tends to happen, I guess.

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.
And the stupid MAGAS are cheering this on.
Looks like they want the destruction of the USA.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

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

Pure unadulterated Bullshit. You can do better.

 

[BartenderElite]

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.

Are you scared?

You should be.

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

And President MUSK doesn't know what he is doing either.
It IS going to be a real shit show.

 

[Tbird19482]

You should be.

The moron doesn't have the intelligence to be afraid , he is way too stupid.

 

[Cypress]

Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

If he does cause a recession, it will be the fourth Republican administration in a row that crashed the economy.

Funny part about that it is that the tariffs haven’t even been enacted yet, they’ve been announced, delayed, rescheduled, stalled, anything for a photo op, but not begun.

Keep the popcorn popping

That is why there is so much instability in the economy and why businesses , our trading partners , other countries are so rattled.
They do not know what is going on or what to do to try and head some of the damage off.
