Russia and China posts what the boss says to post. To that, it appears we have to add to the USA as Trump fired the head of Labor Statistics so he can get the numbers he wants.
"Donald Trump recently fired Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, following a disappointing jobs report that showed a significant slowdown in job growth. He accused her of manipulating the data for political reasons, although he provided no evidence for this claim."
The nmbers indicate we are headed to a recession with inflation. Houses aren't selling not because of interest rates, but rather, because the prices are too high and buyers fear the values will fall after they purchase it.
Trump says tariffs will increase the US revenue. He fails to mention that we will be paying for the increase. Sad that MAGA follows his lies with blinders. Last quarter showed positive results but it appears that consumers purchased vehicles to avoid tariffs. Hopefully, this quarter will be as good. Time will tell.
