The U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July and previous months were revised downward making the 12 month average 34,000 for job growth. Government job losses were primarily local education jobs. Is that DOGE? Because we need more teachers not fewer teachers. The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1% amid a decreasing participation rate led by Baby Boomer retirements.
Trump continues to track towards being the worst jobs president since Herbert Hoover - even if you remove the jobs lost during covid.
Year-over-year average earnings also dropped to the lowest level since May 2021. Good job, MAGA.

Imagine having to pretend that he is doing a good job on the economy. Welcome to the world of a MAGA.
Imagine a President telling everyone and anyone that we are the "hottest country in the world" right now and people actually believing him.
Delusional.
We're the hottest country always. There's a reason nearly every immigrant would choose to end up here vs anywhere else.

No one in their right mind would call recent Q2 GDP growth of a mere 1.5% "hot".
Not even that Twitter dude Amuse.

See my above post as all the evidence you need.
Not sure why you bring up Amuse more than anyone.

You offer zero economic metrics.
My point remains.
1.5% GDP has nothing to do with strong economic growth. Never mind where inflation is. Never mind where mortgage and interest rates are. Never mind where the annual budget deficit is.
Trump's economy is a FAILURE.
And it's still the hottest, most attractive country in the world to immigrants.

That is obviously a low bar compared to where they are coming from. Clearly not relevant to my point I've made.
Has nothing to do with any economic metric, such as home sales slumping and lumber prices at 4 year highs.

Immigration numbers are meaningless when the average American household is getting crushed by much higher grocery, fuel, and electricity prices, higher medical premiums, insurance premiums, mortgage and interest rates.

They definitely aren't meaningless when discussing the hottest country on the planet. Nobody has that pull like the United States.

Hottest by a good 3-5 degrees.

Nope, never said that.
Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent used to heavily criticize Janet Yellen for flooding the market with T-Bills in order to hold long-term treasury yields low.
Now he's doing the exact same thing.
Hypocrite.
Bills as a percentage of total outstanding treasury debt probably pushing 25%
The peak was 35% in Nov. 2008
How Scott Bessent used financial engineering to finance the $2 trillion deficit while leaving it untouchedand created a $1.45 trillion shortfall

Given your logic, the U.S. was also the hottest country in the world under BIDEN given how many immigrants were coming into the country.

Correct, not exactly the gotcha you were hoping for. The US has been the hottest country since the revolution. Biden was just dumb enough to let all of them in.
I knew the sentiment about the economy is bad overall, but this was a wow video for me:

Nope.
MAGA voted for $1.8 Trillion annual budget deficits.
MAGA voted for higher gas, diesel, and electricity prices.
They voted to have their health care insurance premiums surge.
They voted for tariffs that increased expenses in the average household by $1,750
They voted for higher grocery prices, contaminated lettuce and eggs, and more pollution.
