The jobs report this morning revealed America lost 23,000 jobs because of Trump's disastrous agenda, his tariffs, and his failed war. But that is not all. It got even worse. This morning's report also revealed that 103,000 fewer jobs were added in May and June than previously reported. So the total job loss reported is close to 130,000 jobs.
Trump. He is handling the economy so poorly with the chaos, the inconsistency, the lack of paying attention to the facts, the lying. It is all coming down to his doorstep.
chaotic and inconsistent policies, and with his nonstop corruption, but he is not suffering the consequences; working Americans are.
theirs. Trump cost America 23,000 jobs last month, but he has the gall to call this “the greatest economy we've ever had by far.” What planet is he on? Does he not care at all about the people, the 300-and- some-odd million Americans he represents? He just thinks by saying these things it is true.
we have lost over 130,000 jobs in the last few months, you don't know what you are talking about. You are not in reality, and it is cruel and callous to the people who are no longer earning a salary.
their families. How are Americans supposed to afford Trump's skyrocketing costs if they lose their jobs too?
one-two gut punch to the American people, and this terrible jobs report is the uppercut that follows.
Every red economic flag is waving; every warning light is flashing; and every alarm bell is ringing about Trump's catastrophic handling of the economy, and he is in la-la land not even paying attention to it and saying we have the greatest economy ever.
