Ford hit by $800 million in TrumpTariff costs in Q2.

For the year, Ford said it now expects a "net tariff-related headwind of about $2 billion," which reflects a $3 billion gross adverse adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) impact, partially offset by $1 billion of mitigation efforts.

Yikes.

TrumpTariffs are costing American businesses bigly.

The core PCE inflation index for June was 2.8%, which is above the target rate. The May rate was adjusted upward to 2.8% also.

That’s three consecutive months of inflation moving in the wrong direction.

Sluggish job growth and unemployment rate ticks up

And previous job estimates were revised downward. Not good.

The US economy added 73,000 nonfarm payrolls in July, less than than the 104,000 expected by economists. The unemployment rate moved up to 4.2% from 4.1% the month prior, in line with expectations from economists.

In June, the US economy added just 14,000 jobs while the unemployment ticked lower to 4.1%. Those figures were revised significantly lower on Friday from an initial reading of 14,7000. Revisions showed the labor market added 258,000 less jobs than initially reported in May and June.

CNN Panelist Gets Mocked to His Face After His Trump Tariff Prediction Crashed and Burned [WATCH]​

By LifeZette News Staff
August 1, 2025

Republican strategist Scott Jennings pushed back against CNN International host Richard Quest during a live segment on Wednesday night, revisiting previous predictions Quest made about economic downturns tied to President Donald Trump’s trade policies.

“I would just like to go back — I would like to build a DeLorean and go back to April, when everybody here was predicting ‘likely to cause a recession, investment stops and a recession happens, they‘re not talking about a U.S. recession, they‘re talking about a global recession, lead to recession, eventually, there will be a recession,’” Jennings said, referencing the fictional time machine from the Back to the Future film franchise.

Quest responded, “So, very cleverly, very cleverly — hang on a chosen. If he’s chosen to use my words, I just want to point out — just a second, sir.”

Jennings replied, “I just want to point out, you called the recession. You called it. You took your shoe off,” referencing a previous moment on-air. Quest asked, “Would you like to see that again?”

The construction industry has hit a rough patch.

US construction spending extends decline in June

The Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Friday that construction spending fell 0.4% after a revised 0.4% decrease in May.

Spending on private construction projects slipped 0.5%. Investment in residential construction decreased 0.7%, with outlays on new single-family housing projects plunging 1.8%.

That’s a 21% annualized drop in new single family housing construction.

Trump's latest tariffs will cost U.S. households $2,400 this year, analysis says​

The new tariff rates President Trump announced late Thursday are the highest in nearly a century and will cost the average family about $2,400 this year, the Yale Budget Lab said.

Combined with the surprisingly weak jobs report Friday morning, it’s the latest sign that American households face a much more difficult economy in the months to come. On Thursday, Trump revised the sweeping global tariffs he imposed in April, lowering rates for many countries while raising them for a few.

They will mostly take effect starting Aug. 7, though some change as soon as Friday. After blending the various rates assigned to different countries, the average tariff now stands at 18.3%, the highest since 1934, the Yale group said.

In that case why did the idiot fire the entire task force looking to improve jobs statistics?

Tip. It was so he could pretend that only his figures are correct and fools will believe that.

Just head that jobs for white young males is up 2000% last week.

Amazing dear leader! He is the singular reason for everything good since his birth and anyone who disagrees with him is the reason for everything evil and bad.

 

[Meekly_Anna]

Fun fact?
There's not a single legal binding deal at the moment.
Ursula von der Leyen is not authorised to conclude such agreements for the EU.
Of the five other ‘deals’ that Trump has negotiated so far (United Kingdom, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines and Japan), only the text of the agreement with the United Kingdom is available. This is rather vague in terms of content and also contains the explicit statement that ‘both the United States and the United Kingdom recognise that this document does not constitute a legally binding agreement.’

It’s true the company is taking a $2 billion hit from the tariffs, meaning it’s profits are expected be lower by that amount. It’s full year guidance says the company expects adjusted earnings before interest and taxes to be between $6.5 and 7.5 billion. The stock is up 12.2% year to date as of market close yesterday.
