As a candidate, Donald Trump called the economy under President Joe Biden a “nightmare.” As president, he says the United States is “bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before.” Democratic rhetoric has shifted just as sharply, from Vice President Kamala Harris touting the U.S. economy as “the strongest in the world” during the 2024 campaign to Democrats today decrying an “affordability crisis.” And that was before gas prices jumped more than $0.50 a gallon in the wake of the Iran strikes.
While the narrative on both sides has done a 180-degree turn, the economy itself has not. It didn’t change after tariffs were rolled out. It didn’t change after A.I. became more widely adopted. The economy over the last year has looked a lot like it did in 2024. I don’t expect it to change because of the latest disappointing numbers on jobs, fluctuations in the gross domestic product or the start of the Iran war, either.
Just about every significant economic variable was similar across the two years, often well within the range of measurement error: G.D.P. growth, the unemployment rate, the employment rate for prime-age workers, inflation, real wage growth, productivity growth, the budget deficit, the trade deficit, stock-market gains and mortgage rates. The one indicator that changed meaningfully was job growth, which slowed sharply in 2025, but the unemployment rate didn’t get much higher — reflecting the fact that fewer people needed jobs, either because they had already found them or because immigration inflows fell drastically.
The Qatar Royal Family is learning what Tradesmen in NY have known about Trump for 40 years. They are learning that gifting a jet to Trump for an agreement of protection is about as valuable as Trump's agreements to pay his tradesmen in his buildings.
BTW, many of our US cities are still waiting for reimbursements for their bills from Trump rallies way back during Trump 1.0.
Tucker "Tehran" Carlson is being investigated by the DOJ and CIA for sedition upon America. Satanic scratch demons are the last of his problems when he's got the full might of the DOJ coming down on him like a goddam brown sugar locomotive cutting through a dark swampy night.
Zionists are assailing American Free Speech. Not to be cheered on

there have been no jobs created in this country for a year.
inflation is roaring again
energy prices have gone up massively
the budget deficit has ballooned
the economy is certainly worse now than when biden handed it to trump.

There's a reason that the demon attacked Tucker "Tehran" Carlson on that fateful night. And I think you know damn well what that reason was.
Donna Adelson ($$$$$$$) holds sway with the President. She has the President's ear. She has the inside track. Adelson speak Truth to Power regarding the President. She's working behind the scenes to ensure Israel's best interests are met by Americans' Biblical obligations.
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway . . . . .
