The Economy

[heathrowinneo]

The numbers for the last month have been revised. Americans have gained 2.5billion jobs. Additionally, inflation has been adjusted for the year 2020 to be -386%

The final GDP numbers are out for the entirety of 2025 and 2026. 2025 was 75% growth and 2026 is 150%

For the Biden and Obama years, unemployment has been adjusted to a 7000% increase.

Praise be dear leader and thank you for your attention on this matter.

Your growth numbers seem a little light.

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.

GM, Ford and Stellantis lost billions in one quarter because of TrumpTariffs.

Let’s put the GDP headline in context.

Real GDP Q4 2024: 23,542.349
Real GDP Q2 2025: 23,685.287

That’s 0.6% growth in 6 months. 1.2% annualized growth.

More than a podcast network… Patriot TV is a conservative aggregator that delivers stories from dozens of America First sources!
The U.S. economic and political scene is buzzing after Senator John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, openly credited President Donald Trump for his winning approach to the trade war. With bold economic evidence and shifting opinions—even from the left—the discussion around the Trump economy and its signature tariff strategies is commanding headlines. Let’s break down the current state of the Trump economy, what these shifts mean for the nation, and how political and business leaders are reacting.

GM, Ford and Stellantis lost billions in one quarter because of TrumpTariffs.

Tariffs are a tax. The automakers, like all businesses, are lucky the Trump TCJA passed in 2017. For example, the lower corporate tax rate of 21% will save Ford up to $1.5 billion in income taxes this year. New provisions in the OBBB that passed this year will bring additional tax savings thanks to the increased interest deduction and expensing provisions.

You are a racist:

[Elizabeth Holms riots] Geez, the case hasn’t even gone to the jury and the rioters in CA are already looting the high end fashion stores. If the verdict goes the wrong way the streets of Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and LA could be filled with blondes in black turtlenecks. Not even going to guess how this would all go down if she were black.

The tariffs have hurt the shareholders of those companies. No question about it. I haven’t looked at Stellantis and GMs numbers but Ford’s guidance for the year is a profit between $6.5 billion and $7.5 billion. Thank goodness for the TCJA and OBBB. Their stock is up 12.2% year to date. Eventually Canada and Mexico can will to terms with the US and get a reduction on their rates.

Right. Taxes are painful. Could have been worse. Good thing the TCJA and OBBB are in place.

Babyboozer should step down from their role as the MAGAt gaslighter in chief of the PB - and step away from the bottle.

“Canada and Mexico can will to terms with the US”…







Babyboozer



We. Told. Them. So.



Side note:

The social & economic damage / cost & pain from DonOld & the MAGAt republicans’ dumb tariff decisions AND DonOld & the MAGAt republicans’ One Butt Ugly Bill is materializing; JUST AS PREDICTED by decent, intelligent individuals.



And, contrary to Babyboozer’s drunken gaslighting bullshit narrative, there WERE alternatives available (maaaaany of which were offered / presented by the Democratic Party).

Nope. I’e said there is scant evidence of any discernible impact on consumers so far. I’ve noted that BMW, which operates its largest manufacturing plant in the US, announced it’s holding the line on pricing for its 2026 models. I’ve acknowledged that Ford expects a $2 billion hit that they expect will lower its profit to between $6.5 billion and $7.5 billion. So far, the company is absorbing the hit. And I’ve noted that the tax rate passed under the TCJA has lowered their tax burden by up to $1.5 billion. When the expensing of assets provisions of the TCJA and OBBB are factored in, coupled with the new interest deductions in the OBBB, the tariff tax is essentially offset. And the reason I brought up that last point is because many here have argued that corporate taxes are too low. You can’t have it both ways.

Products not covered by the USMC that are imported from Canada and Mexico are currently subjected to tariffs. Canada is 35% plus higher tariffs on steel and aluminum. Mexico is 25%. They will eventually come to terms with the US that lowers those rates with terms more in line with the recent agreements made with Japan, the EU and other trading partners.

MAGA sheep now adamantly defend the TrumpTariffs that some of them also said they oppose.

Such obedient sheep.

 

[rachaelwillguideyou]

Trump warned us we'd get tired of all of the winning.

According to Fortune, etc, DOGE will actually cost US taxpayers $135,000,000,000.00 2025 fiscal year. That's why Trump needs to borrow like crazy. And you spelled "whining" incorrectly.

[Biglibido99]

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.’

Yep, he's being played by other countries for the fool that he is and he's playing his MAGAt fools for the dumbest fucks that they are. There's one thing Donny knows h his base are the dumbest retards and that's why they understand and follow him - they're as dumb as he is

 

[Meekly_Anna]

The victims of the protection racketeer, sorry, greatest president of all time, would be very stupid to even informally agree to his unworldly demands. Apart from the fact that he is complaining about ‘unfair’ conditions and now wants to enforce them, the whole thing has other consequences. (Anyone who even superficially follows the activities of his freak show can see that his thing is to accuse his real or imagined opponents of doing exactly what he himself intends to do.)
Should the agreed tariff rates, in particular the 0 per cent tariffs promised by the EU on goods imported from the USA, actually be applied, the EU would be directly obliged not to levy tariffs on similar goods from all WTO member states. This is a direct result of the most favoured nation obligation (Art. I:1 GATT), which is of particular importance in the WTO legal system. Most-favoured-nation treatment means that WTO members are obliged to grant trade advantages that they grant to another WTO member - e.g. 0 percent tariffs - unconditionally to all other WTO members. Whether the EU has a legal obligation towards the USA to allow duty-free imports of goods is irrelevant - only the factual situation is decisive.

 

[Biglibido99]

Donny doesn't do detail (but Debbie does Dallas ) - he's numerically illiterate and functionally illeterate too - he just wants the headline, never mind the truth

 

[MajorRewrite]

Facing $1 billion in TrumpTariff costs over the next year, P&G is raising prices on 25% of its products and firing workers.

P&G said it will raise prices on about a quarter of its products in August, with increases expected to be in the mid-single-digit range.

The plan also calls for the company to cut about 6% of its workforce, or 7,000 jobs.

 

[Biglibido99]

All that manufacturing rushing back into the US is dizzying,
