Republicans were just got caught lying about the economy while they decimate it. A government report released today showed the real status of Trump’s economy and rather than addressing its shortcomings, he fired the messenger. Time to log on.

You’re Fired!
Just hours after the the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly jobs report - showing damning data that U.S. job growth had slowed - Trump fired the Bureau’s Commissioner, Erika McEntarfer. The Commissioner, who is a widely respected federal economist with two decades of public service and bipartisan Senate confirmation, was accused (without evidence) by Trump in a Truth Social post of cooking the data “for political purposes.”
He’s insisting the numbers are fake and the economy is doing great while every metric in the recent BLS report shows the exact opposite.
The U.S. Job Market is Tanking
There’s no better way to say this: today’s U.S. jobs report for July 2025 [ [link removed] ] was garbage. Trump’s trade-war strategy was meant to stimulate U.S. manufacturing, which LOST 11,000+ jobs in July, compounding similar declines in May and June. This is, in fact, the worst manufacturing downturn in over a decade. Even conservative have started reporting that the job market is shit.
Trump’s chaotic tariff escalation is actually deterring investment. Five months in: there are no new factories and no surge in production; just tax hike after confusing tax hike, hit after hit after hit. I guess that’s what happens when you let a 6x bankrupt “businessman” run the economy. USMCAngryVeteran agrees:
Trump’s Ego Isn’t the Only Things That’s Inflated
Americans’ confidence in the economy is eroding at an alarming rate [ [link removed] ] as inflation rises. Major brands like Kroger, Procter & Gamble, and Comcast announced fresh price hikes this month, citing production and transport costs. At the same time, Americans are pulling back on spending because their household savings are shrinking under the weight of high costs.
Meanwhile Trump is on a U.S. Taxpayer Spending Spree
While Americans lose jobs and struggle to afford basic household goods, Trump:
Is launching a $200 million White House ballroom renovation [ [link removed] ], a gilded 90,000‑square‑foot vanity project.
Accepted a “free” Qatari jumbo jet [ [link removed] ], which will cost U.S. taxpayers up to $1 billion to retrofit with security protocols.
Sign this petition to tell Trump DON’T spend $200 million on a new ballroom! [ [link removed] ]
So he is killing jobs, take away food assistance, gutting public health, and eliminating student debt relief while treating himself to absurd luxuries on our dime. Seems like the deficit can’t be as bad as he says it is.
To justify Trump’s lavish spending, Republicans will say “this is temporary,” or rationalize this as “short-term pain for long-term gain” but jobs are disappearing, factory lines are shuttering, inflation is rising, and investment is fleeing. Long-term gain requires long-term investment in manufacturing and such investment is nowhere to be found. But, the GOP will never admit [ [link removed] ] that Trump’s economic model was destined to fail from the start.
They also won’t admit that Trump didn’t just break his own economy; he gilded it for himself, then sold it back to Americans with interest.
