I wonder at this point, if a person can get a top position presenting economic statistics to the American public, make everything up: "US jobs grows 1,203% under Trump's glory!" "Unemployment level at -39% due to President Trump!" "US GDP grew 19X faster than China's this quarter posting 143% growth thanks to President Trump." "Average American net worth $12 Billion under Trump's new plan!" and just get protected from all backlash by the White House. I feel like Trump's so desperate, you can do that, and if anyone tries to pull you down, you could just go to Trump asking him if he wants to see a loyal ally go down and get replaced with someone who's actually going to do realistic statistics and put his presidency under economic scrutiny.
1. Negative unemployment would mean overemployment, a.k.a. working multiple jobs, which is not far from the truth.

2. Under Trump's old plan, tariff the whole world and not 1 percent less, given enough time, hyperinflation would have elevated the average American's net worth to $12 Billion USD

3. As the most charismatic man on this forum, I support you to be the next Trump econ statistics spokesman. You would be the younger, better looking version of that Taiwanese dude who ran Trumps election communications campaign, who is married to a fine milf I might add

If inflation really is cooling, and this isn't just more fake shit, then it's because employment is getting hammered and demand is hurting across the board.
The problem is how to cut interest rates without causing inflation, especially in food prices, and now with tariffs.

FED planners don't really care much about a recession, as much as they do about stagflation or even inflation that could turn into hyperinflation. They'd rather receive their enormous pensions and not have their purchasing power annihilated by their reckless economic/monetary policies.

The American economy is in trouble.

Low emergency savings: 24% of Americans have no emergency savings; 59% unable to cover US$1,000 in 2025

Unemployment Rise: The rate rose to 4.2% in July 2025, the highest since October 2021, with the number of unemployed increasing by 221,000

Low Job Creation: Only 73,000 jobs were added in July 2025, with downward revisions from 258,000 in previous months

Credit Card Debt: Total reached US$1.21 trillion in Q2 2025, with 6.93% of balances delinquent

Car Loan Delinquency: The 90+ day rate reached 5.0% in Q1 2025, above the historical average

Debt-Committed Income: Payments consumed 11.25% of disposable income in Q1 2025

Food Inflation: Prices rose 3% in the 12 months to June 2025, putting pressure on items such as meat and eggs.

Decline in Real Estate Sales: Sales fell 2.7% in June 2025, to 3.93 million annually, the lowest level in nine months.

Increase in Foreclosures: Grew 7% in the first half of 2025, totaling 140,006 properties.

Increase in Bankruptcies: Total bankruptcies rose 11.5% in the 12 months to June 2025, with an acceleration in commercial and individual bankruptcies.

Unrealized Bank Losses on Government Securities: Losses totaled US$413 billion in Q1 2025, representing approximately 8.6% of face value. In a rush to withdraw, forced sales could lead to bank insolvencies and failures.

National Debt and Interest Costs: Total debt reached US$36.2 trillion in June 2025, with interest costs projected at US$952 billion for the year, exceeding 3.2% of GDP.

Either way, as soon as JPOW is out, Trump's chosen man will lower rates ASAP as low as they can with no concern for inflation.

Trump, like all previous presidents, thinks that printing money solves economic problems.

The United States and Europe have no other option than to print and print tons of banknotes that lose value and are impoverishing their societies.

Productivity, innovation, and manufacturing are not among their priorities.
