The Trump administration added a grand total of 150k jobs -in the entirety of 2025-. And then started firing people at the Bureau of Labor Statistics when stats came out that weren't flattering. .. and these people seriously expect Americans to believe they added 170k jobs last month, and 160k jobs the month before?? 😂😂😂😂

Wonder how many of these represent second or third jobs because of Trump’s terrible economy?
Jim Jordan, let’s play the game of averages. Is 76,000 new jobs per month greater or less than 336,000 jobs per month? If you are unable to answer that question maybe you can answer which president had the largest creation of job growth?

During the Biden Administration (January 2021 through January 2025), the U.S. economy added approximately 16 million total jobs. This translates to a historical monthly average of about 300,000 to 330,000 jobs added per month, which represented one of the strongest labor market recoveries on record following the pandemic downturn.

Yeah, and housing is affordable, and groceries are affordable, and gas is affordable, and trump is in excellent health. Etc. etc.
During Obama's 2nd administration, he told Americans that "UNEMPLOYMENT IS THE NEW NORMAL"..https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/8118276/Barack-Obama-warns-of-unemployment-being-new-normal-in-US.html and then Donald Trump was elected and guess what!!! We had record employment and an economic BOOM. https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/articles/2018-ends-312000-jobs-created-december-strong-year-job-market/ That economic boom was partly the result of Investor Confidence in the Trump Administration and the return of large corporations that had moved to foreign countries to protect their businesses from Socialist destruction. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fact-sheet-americas-economy-booming-thanks-president-donald-j-trump Socialists think they can take everything away by overtaxing, over-regulating and over-controlling what is not theirs. The people that worked to create capital with hard work and business expertise will just move out and away from the Socialists. It happened recently in NYC. Mamdani thought he could demand higher taxes and absolute control over business enterprises within the State...... and then the very people he was expecting to fleece MOVED OUT. They took their businesses, their jobs, their tax money and they left Mamdani with the people who had no businesses, no tax money, no business expertise and no way to leave. Socialism has destroyed New York's and California's Prosperity. The Producing segment of society will still be producing and creating jobs and paying taxes --- but ELSEWHERE. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/billionaires-businesses-fuel-growing-exodus-from-blue-states

Econ Prof here: This economy is a disaster compared to what happened just before under Biden 1️⃣Biden’s last 15 months saw about 2.4 million net new nonfarm payroll jobs added. 2️⃣Trump’s first 15 months of his second term saw roughly 500,000 net new jobs So we are down 80% .. The insane tariffs and the blithering idiocy of a war against Iran that has hugely spiked gas prices are terrible drain on the economy …. Trump continues. His losing streak started in his first term when he ended with fewer jobs than he began with !!
