Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years
The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

Truth Social is tanking. the stock price has dropped 21% since opening. Truth Social has reported a 58 million dollar operating loss.
"The problem for Trump Media is its main product — Truth Social — is shrinking.
Monthly active US users on iOS and Android plunged in February to 494,000, down 51% year-over-year, according to Similarweb. By comparison, X has 75 million monthly active US users. Even Threads has more than 10 times as many users as Truth Social, according to Similarweb."

@trichrider Who cares about foreign or native-born employment ratios when unemployment is the lowest under any President since WW2 except for Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson?
the chart below shows that Trump began his term with 4.7% and ended with 6.4%.
Biden inherited Trump's 6.4% and now it is at 3.9%.

Annualized real GDP growth rates under U.S. presidents from Eisenhower to Biden, sorted by growth rate. Data source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis quarterly data through the first quarter of 2023. Democrats are in blue, Republicans are in red. The quarter in which a new president takes office is attributed to the incoming president.[9][10]
GDP is a measure of both the economic production and income. The Economist reported in August 2014 that real (inflation-adjusted) GDP growth averaged about 1.8 percentage points faster under Democrats, from Truman through Obama's first term, which ended in January 2013.[2] Blinder and Watson estimated the average Democratic real GDP growth rate at 4.3%, vs. 2.5% for Republicans, from President Truman's elected term through President Obama's first term, which ended January 2013.[1] This pattern of faster GDP growth under Democratic presidents continued after Blinder and Watson published their study; GDP grew faster both in President Obama's second term and in the first two years of President Biden's administration than in President Trump's term.[11]
CNN reported in September 2020 that GDP grew 4.1% on average under Democrats, versus 2.5% under Republicans, from 1945 through the second quarter of 2020, a difference of 1.6 percentage points.[3] The New York Times reported in February 2021 that: "Since 1933, the economy has grown at an annual average rate of 4.6 percent under Democratic presidents and 2.4 percent under Republicans...The average income of Americans would be more than double its current level if the economy had somehow grown at the Democratic rate for all of the past nine decades.[12]
editing to add that the DOW is close to 40,000.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) hit its record high on Feb. 23, 2024, reaching 39,282.28 points in intraday trading. The Dow's all-time high at market close stands at 39,131.53, reached the same day.
it looks like investor confidence is up, Trichy!

Shock! US Government Overstated Job Growth in 2023
The Washington shell game on inflation and employment numbers.by Andrew Moran | Apr 2, 2024 | Articles, Business News, Opinion
Last year, the US economy added 3.013 million new jobs, and that is taking into consideration the questionable establishment survey and all of the downward revisions. Not too shabby! But while President Joe Biden may be taking a small and precarious victory lap heading into the November election, one aspect of the jobs numbers that will be swept under the Oval Office rug is that of new employment.
Is the Job Market Strong?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) report every three months. It is a more accurate and thorough job gauge than the monthly non-farm payroll report that everyone waits for with bated breath. However, like the headachy caffeine-deprived professional, the QCEW does not offer the financial markets and politicians the same jolt. Armchair and professional economists, be it in the Xverse or on Fox Business, enjoy it because it reflects potentially a more realistic snapshot of the job market.Statisticians at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia pay close attention to the QCEW figures and use them as a basis for the regional central bank’s quarterly report, “Early Benchmarks for All 50 States and the District of Columbia.” The conclusion is that employment growth was vastly overstated in 2023.
According to BLS data, payrolls expanded by 1.5% through December 2023. However, the Philadelphia Fed Bank says it was 0.5%. As they say in economics, you can always mislead, distort, or lie by utilizing percentages. Using sum values, the US government reported that by December, payrolls stood at 157.304 million jobs. The QCEW data show 156.504 million. This represents a divergence of 800,000. So, rather than the impressive 230,000 average monthly boost to the labor market, it was 130,000.
Here is a snippet from the Philadelphia Fed Bank’s report: “Our early benchmark analysis indicates that total payroll jobs fell in Delaware and New Jersey, and were essentially unchanged in Pennsylvania, from March through June 2022. These estimates are in contrast to the substantial growth indicated by the current … monthly estimates.”
This is not the first time that the Philadelphia Fed found such results. As Liberty Nation reported, the regional central bank noted in December 2022 that the BLS overstated that year’s payroll by 1.1 million. Of course, as Liberty Nation has further noted, there is an immense gap between the establishment and household portions of the monthly jobs report. Last month, the former showed 275,000 new jobs, while the latter highlighted a loss of 184,000 positions.
As the tremendous former Boston Red Sox reliever Dennis Eckersley once said, “Yuck!”
Sound Familiar?
Why does the US government overstate jobs and understate inflation? Wait a minute. Washington minimizes the inflation data, too? Shocker!
For years, LN has reported that the federal government has adjusted how it measures price changes throughout the marketplace. This occurred in the early 1980s when statisticians essentially removed the consumer price index (CPI) housing component, including home prices and personal interest payments. Today, the government views having a roof over your head as an investment rather than a need as critical as food or fuel. Why would it when housing inflation has rocketed since the coronavirus pandemic, driven by the Eccles Building’s zero-rate climate?
As FX Hedge recently wrote in a terrific newsletter, “The government stopped using real-world data and started using proxies to estimate the real-world data.” Put simply, if the BLS relied on pre-1983 methods to calculate inflation, the June 2022 peak of 9.1% would have been at least doubled. Of course, this would not look good for President Joe Biden or the Federal Reserve. But, sure, blame it on greedflation and shrinkflation.

DNC Activist Warns Democrats to Stop Registering Young Voters, “They’re Gonna Vote for Trump”
April 1, 2024 | Sundance | 265 CommentsThis is a little funny. The Washington Post has an article about Democrat data scientist Aaron Strauss, who helps direct progressive spending at the firm OpenLabs, warning his peers that registering young people to vote, young people of color specifically, is helping Donald Trump.
The data shows that when Democrats help register young voters, they end up registering people who will vote for Trump. Now they are considering not even holding voter registration drives in target markets because they align with Trump.
WAPO – […] A confidential memo circulated among top Democratic donors has sparked a furious debate in Democratic circles about whether to narrow the focus of voter registration efforts to avoid signing up likely Republicans.
For decades, nonpartisan groups allied with the Democratic Party have run wide-ranging efforts aimed at increasing voter registration among people of color and young people — groups that tend to lean Democratic but have historically voted at lower rates than older and White people.
In recent years, however, there has been a marked shift among the roughly one in five citizens of voting age who are unregistered toward Republicans, raising fresh questions about how much boosting nonpartisan voter registration could help presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump heading into November.
Aaron Strauss, an influential data scientist who helps direct progressive spending at the firm OpenLabs, sparked private disagreements over this issue in January when he sent about a dozen major Democratic donors a confidential memo that challenged traditional nonpartisan registration.
[…] Polls in recent months have regularly shown Biden polling below 2020 levels among Black and Latino voters. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found Biden pulling support from 60 percent of Black voters and 34 percent of Hispanic voters in a five way race with Trump and three third-party candidates. Exit polls in 2020 showed Biden winning 87 percent of the Black voter and 65 percent of the Latino vote. (read more)
