It is almost like he has no idea what he is doing or how to grow and economy. The USA is Trump's new business that will tank.

China’s? +6.2%.

But the U.S. Dow under trump? Limping at ~2% YTD.

So someone explain to me:
How the **** is this “winning” again?

Check the Dow from December 2021 to December 2023. The Dow grew 4% in 24 months.

There was also a global pandemic that economy was recovering from. You know, the one Trump bungled and left the country in economic ruin?

The period when the world was navigating the unprecedented backdrop of Covid? If so, what's Trump's excuse for his disastrous economic performance?

Trump’s excuse? That he’s a barely literate conman who skated by on Daddy’s money and still went bankrupt multiple times. Elect a moron and reap the consequences.

This is the reset needed. No more taking advantage of the U.S. trade tariff deficit. We also need lower interest rates. Jerome Powell is the final obstacle standing in the way of broad economic growth. The Fed must act decisively.

To restore historically normal consumer borrowing costs from the 2010s, the Fed should cut the federal funds rate by 1.5 to 2 percentage points, bringing it down from the current 4.25%–4.50% range to about 2.25%–3.00%. That would put us back in line with the credit conditions that supported stable, affordable growth throughout the last expansion.

Here’s what that reset should look like, based on actual borrowing norms from the 2010s:

Mortgage rates: Target 4%–4.5%, consistent with the 2013–2019 average

Credit card APRs: Target 11%–13%, matching typical prime+margin levels pre-2020

Auto loan rates: Target 3.0%–4.0%, as seen from 2012 to 2018 for new 60-month loans

These are not aggressive or speculative figures. They reflect what everyday Americans experienced when monetary policy prioritized economic recovery over inflation fearmongering.

It’s time to stop penalizing borrowers and start rebuilding a healthy, credit-driven economy. A 1.5–2 point cut to the Fed rate is the minimum necessary to return to those conditions.

This will spike inflation even more. Interest rates aren't the problem. The Moron-in-Chief's economic policies finally taking hold is the problem.

And the downward revision fro previous months is the bigger story.

Check the Biden era downward revisions. Rinse and repeat.

Biden had both upward and downward revisions based on facts.
Trump has only had downward revisions, and I am guessing the numbers are actually worse than being reported.

Ask recent college grads what the job market is like. It's hopeless out there.

60% of Class of 2024 grads still do not have their first job. The running average for this statistic is 25%. Add to it all of the layoffs in tech, consulting and government and the numbers get worse.

They will have their student loans put into collections as well. Trump's government is all about taking money from people and business.

Inflation is not surging—CPI is holding around 2.7% and core inflation is steady. The Fed is behind, keeping rates too high while wages cool and growth stalls. Tariffs aren’t causing broad inflation either. It’s time to cut through the excuses.

Every American should demand lower interest rates now—on mortgages, car loans, credit cards, and business credit. You deserve affordable credit, stable prices, and real economic growth. Raise your voice. The Fed works for you.

Did you get your econ degree from Trump University? Serious question. Or did you just copy/paste this from somewhere. Because what you are posting has no basis in reality.

That inflation data does not reflect reality. Prices are increasing fasting than that. And there have been numerous reports about companies OFFICIALLY going forward with price increases now that the moron's "trade deals" are going into effect. You are naive.

It is still too early to see tariff impact as companies purchased excess stock in advance, anticipating tariffs, so have been able to sell off without raising prices.

In addition, companies took a slow and measured approach to raising prices given Trump about faces on every tariff decision so absorb initial impact to see if they can wait him out before raising prices.

Also important to note that health care and social assistance accounted for essentially all job growth in July. If it hadn't been for that sector, employment would have fallen slightly. More evidence this is tariff impacts.
