Weakest American President on Russia in History.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by just 22,000 for the month, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report Friday. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for payrolls to rise by 75,000.

The report showed a marked slowdown from the July increase of 79,000, which was revised up by 6,000. Revisions also showed a net loss of 13,000 in June after the prior estimate was lowered by 27,000.

More Terrible Numbers! Winning!

Lutnick says the jobs numbers "will get better because you'll take out the people who are just trying to create noise against the president ... this is gonna be the greatest growth economy six months from now, a year from today"

Ah, so they've openly admitted they're going to start cooking the numbers slowly once their loyalist is approved, Lmfao.

Trump has signed the executive order renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

“We decided to go woke and we changed the name to Department of Defense.”

JFC. The "everything is woke" crowd are the dumbest MFs in the world, Lmao.

Trump: “We should have won every war, we could have won every war. But we choose to be politically correct or wokey."

Wokey Vietnam War.

"I wasn't sure what number you wanted me to go with."

Oh look, what we already knew, and was already proven from Trump's first term with companies like Foxconn, Alibaba, etc, companies are bullshitting about their "investments" into the USA to score the current admin some PR points and even Trump knows they're bullshitting too but he is desperate for vague ass PR wins of "I promise to invest *insert random amount* in the USA (no timeframe).

Who'd thought billionaires would lie like that.

Yeah I guess napalm and agent orange wasn't enough to be a really manly country

Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

Goddamn Mike Johnson is such a fucking idiot. 😂😂😂😂

Younger Americans seeking work are facing trouble getting hired in today’s job market.

The unemployment rate for 16-to-24-year-olds climbed in August to 10.5%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That’s the highest level in nearly four years and a significant increase from 9% as recently as January.

The youth unemployment rate is more than twice as high as the national unemployment rate.

The findings underscore how there are fewer opportunities for younger workers.

The jobless rate is slightly higher, at 10.8%, for high school graduates aged 20 to 24 without college experience. That’s up sharply from 8.8% in July.

Even recent college graduates are having serious trouble landing a job these days. Some members of the Class of 2024 say they applied to hundreds of jobs without success – and some economists suspect artificial intelligence may be playing a role.

The unemployment rate for those aged 20 to 24 years old with a bachelor’s degree and higher climbed to 9.3% in August, up from 8.6% in July and 4.2% in April.

“The ‘low hiring, low firing’ environment has disproportionately hit the younger cohort of new college grads,” Kevin Gordon, senior investment strategist at Charles Schwab, told CNN. “We’re now likely seeing the impact of AI on this cohort, especially as companies start turning to technology to save on costs.”

The job market is drying up. Prices continue to rise. Millions are living paycheck to paycheck. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead.

What has Trump been up to lately?

Hobnobbing with billionaire Big Tech CEOs and profiting off the presidency with crypto schemes.

Nearly 70 percent of people in the poll said they believe the American dream — an idea that, no matter who you are or where you are from, if you work hard enough, you will achieve your goals in America — is no longer true or never was.

The number of people who believe the American dream is dead is the highest it's been in nearly 15 years of surveys, according to the WSJ.

The poll was fittingly published on Labor Day, a federal holiday that celebrates the social and economic achievements of American workers.

But only 25 percent of people in the WSJ-NORC poll believe they have a good chance of improving their standard of living, a historic low in surveys dating to 1987, according to the publication.

And just think. Trump was too much of a chickenshit coward to serve in Vietnam himself. The ultimate chicken hawk. What a PAB. 

My father served in the Navy during Vietnam. He was vehemently against subsequent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the U.S. involvement in Yugoslavia as a result. If you ever said the name Robert McNamara in his hearing he would curse you out. He was angry about Vietnam being started based on a lie. And his reward for three tours in Vietnam was to have Reagan try and take away his military pension (he ended up getting it after a visit with our member of the House).
