    SO much for that, looks like all 16 were wrong like the laptop lies !

    The FBI warned major US tech companies ahead of The Post’s first reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 that Russian agents were preparing a strikingly similar document dump.

    Unreal !

    interest rates about to be lowered

    The hand Biden left us Jesus would struggle with. Did you happen to see the graph the dumb aZZ Dems posted on X yesterday bashing Trump over inflation, only thing is the horrendous numbers were Bidens covering the years 2021 thru 2024. This is how ignorant these people are later taking down the tweet. They sound like you guys, no plans, no policies just bash Daddy !

    Trump is lucky to inherit a strong economy from Biden.  However positive trajectory is starting to show weaknesses.  GDP contracted in the first quarter of 2025 in first quarterly decline in 3 years.  Also US dollar has biggest decline in first half of year in over 50 years because of loss of confidence due to Trump's bad economic policies.  If his tariffs are fully implemented, economists expect lower economic growth with higher inflation and unemployment in the future.

    Trump says he will place a 100% tariff on chips and semiconductors

     

     

    Meaning, American consumers will pay more. [inflation!]

    What likely gets more expensive
    from Trump’s massive tariff hikes


    CNN -

    Trump has said that tariffs won’t lead to higher prices. But the US economy seems to disagree: Inflation, which has remained fairly tame, is slowly creeping up because of tariffs.

    Trump’s latest round of higher taxes on imports, which went into effect Thursday, will immediately make imported goods from impacted countries more expensive in the United States.

    The new tariffs will probably raise prices on:

    Electronics
    Clothing
    Shoes
    Alcohol
    Furniture
    Toys

    Trump Tariffs are giving parents
       back-to-school sticker shock


    New York —

    Lisa Ward was startled at the prices on sneakers when she recently went back-to-school shopping for her twin boys.

    “All of them were at least $10 or $20 more than last year. That pissed me off, but I didn’t have a choice,” said Ward, a finance professional who lives outside of Atlanta.

     

    Jake Cohen, head of industry and insights at Klaviyo, told CNN the higher prices are an obvious consequence of trump's trade war.

    “Trump tariffs have driven prices up! Brands are trying to create margin. The simplest way to do that is to raise prices,” Cohen said.

    Not sure if they're buyer's remorse when it comes to next midterms. If majority of voters are again casting their ballots to Trump's party? This ideology prevails every other thing, just hard to comprehend, Fubah. 

    Can Dems retake one or two chambers in next midterms to check one party rule currently in our nation? We will see.

    Nobel economist Paul Krugman warns that mass deportation can cause more economic barm than people realize. Illegal immigrants constitute 5% of US. workforce  but are concentrated in some industries. For examples, construction, agriculture, senior care, meat packing and others which could be crippled by loss of workers.  Americans would be worse off with higher inflation, unemployment and lower economic growth. Potentially worse than Trump tariffs.

    Barclay economists estimate 50% risk of US recession within the next two years.  For the first time in over 4 years, there are fewer open jobs than there are job seekers according to Bureau of labor statistics.

    Economy, Democracy under seige by fascist trump regime

     

    ew York —

    The nation’s top economic statistician was fired. Central bank independence is being undermined. The federal government is buying chunks of private companies and demanding cuts of revenue streams. Presidential power to lob tariffs has been wielded in unprecedented fashion. And federal regulators are threatening media companies over late-night comics.

    These events all took place this year, and not in a third-world country, but in the world’s preeminent democracy under President Donald Trump.

    Some political scientists see a pattern that suggests American democracy is being undermined in real time. The stakes are massive for the US economy and the business world.

    “I have never been this concerned about democracy in the United States,” Vanessa Williamson, a senior fellow of governance studies at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution, told CNN

    Polls show most Americans are more worried about government or bad leadership than the economy.  But Nobel economist Krugman warns that US economy is worse than it looks.  Trump erratic policies create huge uncertainties.  Economy is frozen when many companies aren't hiring or investing.  For example, Amazon recently announces 30,000 layoffs the largest number in its history.  Without boom in artificial intelligence, US might be facing a recession.

    This thread is funny.  Leave it to the bot to post wrong numbers and to try to keep pumping AI. an_beatup

     

    Bro (bot), the AI boom has already happened. Are the bots really trying to keep pumping AI still? Propaganda has completely failed by the liberal bots. Amazon is laying off people because of AI and Third is trying to spin the facts. How twisted can a bot actually be? US has already been in recession but the last admin changed the definition of a recession to keep the lie going on how well the economy was going under Biden.
