How Can You Expect A Good Jobs Report When You're Favorite Thing Is Firing People?

When you're favorite thing to do is say : "You're fired," and you are in charge of an entire federal government that your followers are clamoring to make smaller, it only stands to reason that jobs are going away.

You fire thousands of people from government jobs, who then go into the private sector and seek available jobs, and then wonder why there are no jobs?

1+1

You absolutely crush foreign trade with debilitating import taxes with no rhyme or reason, putting them on, taking them off, making them bigger, pausing them for 2 weeks, 90 days, whatever. Who knows what comes next? The business world is thrown into chaos in a complete swirl of uncertainty, afraid to expand, never knowing whether the market will be there for product, and you don't expect hiring to slow down???

This man doesn't think past the next move.

There is a reason Trump doesn't play chess.

You cause prices and inflation to go up, up, up. You spark great fear for market stability. Consumers are freaked out, afraid to buy anything, not knowing how much money they are going to need to save, not knowing how much their money is going to be worth next year. Others are already feeling the pinch. Those living paycheck to paycheck are already forced to cut back on spending. Buying slows down. The total of all transactions in the US slows down. That is the definition of the GDP. The GDP recedes. That is the definition of a recession.

Basically, you pull a bunch of surprise moves that roil the markets and cause a recession; and you're surprised when you get a bad jobs report?

Talk about not connecting the dots.

Things were fine with Democrats.

We had a soft landing after the pandemic despite fears of a post-pandemic recession. Very skillfully handled by Biden and the Fed. Then you get power lusting Republicans and a bonkers right wing media making up a bunch of unfounded rumors about how"bad things were" and needing "big changes" because we were "so bad." So then a bunch of misled poorly informed voters put this lunatic in office and he screws everything up one side and down the other. Now, we have this royal mess of an economy.

Thanks a lot, maga. If America was a pooch you screwed it.

When consumer spending slows down (because with inflation money doesn't go as far) product demand slows down. When product demand slows down, hiring slows down. The whole economy is slowing down. We are very dangerously heading towards a totally Trump-cause recession.

And, of course, the asshole won't listen to reason. He's so full of himself nobody can tell him anything. He 'knows' everything.

This is why we are better off with a team of experts and a level-headed leader than somebody who claims he knows more than everybody about everything.

What we have for leadership is a totally egotistical asshole who won't listen to anybody, and a bunch of sycophant suck-ups who do nothing but praise him and butter him up just to keep their jobs, lest he do his favorite thing.

And then we have the wimpy Congress and SCOTUS, afraid to cross the asshole-in-chief.

Leadership in America is currently a big stinking mess!

Thanks a lot, Republicans.

When assholes who circulate false rumors gain power it ain't pretty.

How the hell are stocks about flat - NASDAQ up - with the worst report since 2020?
